Two institutions have been selected to receive Video Assist consultation for round two, beginning in January and continuing through the end of March.
Derwen College applied for assistance in the production of videos which illustrate best practices, particularly in the teaching of students with learning difficulties and disabilities. The University of Manchester's application concerns the use of video to illustrate interview techniques for social sciences research.
A number of excellent proposals were received for Video Assist, but unfortunately only two could be chosen. However, there is a second round coming up very soon. The deadline for applications for the next Video Assist is the 26th of February. The two institutions selected from this round will receive their Video Assist support between April and July of next year, and all FE and HE institutions in the UK are invited to apply. For further information please see the Video Assist pages on our website.
