Report from TAG Seminar

I recently attended this seminar which is a good example of wider benefits realisation, and clearly demonstrates the success of wider engagement.
TAG HEA Evidence-based Practice Seminar – March 4, 2010
The seminar was funded under the HEA Seminar series[1] and considered issues of student retention and motivating student learning in relation to the TAG[2] Project at [...]

We are pleased to have final agreement to fund five projects submitted in December before the funding freeze.
BR1c-01 The ASSET Project, University of Reading, will be working with several institutions and existing networks around using technology to provide better feedback to learners. They aim to engage senior learning and teaching staff within several institutions through [...]

BR Funding Freeze

Many of you will be aware that future funding under the JISC Capital Funding programmes has been frozen, for further details see
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/news/stories/2010/01/funding.aspx
This is likely to include any further benefits realisation funding under the Institutional Innovations programme. Funding for existing benefits realisation projects is not affected as far as we know.
Until we have more information we [...]

Eligible Partner Institutions

I have been asked to clarify who can be included as partner institutions within BR projects. I refer back to the original Circular for the programme which stated elibiliity for funding as: 
“Higher Education (HE) Institutions funded by HEFCE or HEFCW.  FE institutions in England that teach HE to more than 400 FTEs are also eligible [...]

Testing project outcomes in another institution

I’d like to encourage benefits realisation projects that test out what you have achieved in your project in another institution. This is one step in making what you have usable by other institutions and you will also get valuable feedback and ideas on what you have done. It is a chance to develop better guidance [...]

Models of benefits realisation projects

As further benefits realisation projects get under way I thought it would be useful to share some approaches being used by existing projects, which you may wish to adopt.
Nearly all the projects involve some synthesis and packaging of materials into usable resources for other institutions. These are usually made available via a website or used [...]

Project fed activities

We have mentioned a phase 2 of benefits realisation activity that would be “project fed” rather than “project led”, which would involve other institutions taking and using outcomes from the Institutional Innovation projects to address issues of their own.
There has been some discussion over the summer on how this might work. Lawrie Phipps has now [...]
