€450k EU funding awarded for Network Of Veterinary ICt in Education (NOVICE) project

LIVE and e-Media RVC staff (Sarah Baillie, Vicki Dale, Nick Short and Stephen May) have been successful in obtaining EU funding as part of a collaborative European team for the Network of Veterinary ICt in Education (NOVICE) project. A grant of €450k has been awarded under the EU’s Lifelong Learning Programme to investigate the role of web 2.0 technologies (for example, wikis and blogs) in supporting informal, lifelong learning. The RVC team, also including Tierney Kinnison and Peter Nunn, will be working with colleagues at other European veterinary schools in Utrecht (the lead site), Hannover, Budapest and Bucharest. The project kicked off with a meeting of ICT educationalists in Utrecht in January 2010. A core group of 10 students and 10 practitioners from each participating institution will initially be invited to take part in the cross-European, online community of practice.
More information about the project will shortly be available at www.noviceproject.eu
