UNCLASSIFIED

Dear Institutional Contact Officers,

The Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT) would like to advise that there has been a slight change to the Request for Proposal for the Good Practice Reports.

The project deliverables now include a literature review point that unfortunately had dropped off the document. This has been updated on the OLT website and in the attached pdf.

The project deliverables for the Good Practice Report should include:

·         List the key outcomes for teaching and learning of the work done in the topic by the OLT and its predecessor bodies (maximum three pages)

·         Identify and analyse the findings of, and resources for, teaching and learning produced by the national learning and teaching projects and fellowships (half to one page per project or fellowship)

·         Provide a literature review of good practice and key outcomes for teaching and learning from broader Australian and international scholarly research and publications (five to ten pages)

·         Identify the proposed outcomes, and resources for, teaching and learning which will be produced by the incomplete OLT projects and fellowships (half a page per project or fellowship)

·         Identify areas in which further development or work are needed (maximum one page)

For further details please refer to the OLT website http://www.olt.gov.au/grants-and-projects/programs-and-applications/commissioned-projects.

Please accept our apologies and the OLT would be grateful if you could forward this information to interested members of your staff.

Please contact us on learningandteaching@deewr.gov.au if you have any further questions.

Kind regards

4.       National learning and teaching resource audit and classification

5.       Good Practice Reports:

·         Postgraduate research and coursework degrees

·         Standards

Projects 1–3 are larger strategic projects of national interest and we would anticipate proposals for funding of $220,000 and beyond.The OLT may award one or more grants to address a strategic topic.

Project 4, National learning and teaching resource audit and classification, has funding available of up to $150,000 and the  Good Practice Reports have funding of $30,000 each.
