Academic Practice and Student Experience

Learning Enhancement Opportunities (LEO) Projects

Learning Enhancement Opportunities (LEO) project grants are intended to offer colleagues an opportunity to innovate and evaluate aspects of academic practice that are relevant to learning, teaching and assessment.

LEOs are approved first by School/Service Learning and Teaching Committees, and finally by UEL’s Learning and Teaching Committee.

LEOs offer a vehicle by which colleagues (individually or in teams) may advance innovations in learning and teaching, by undertaking a small scale, one year  project, funded for up to £5,000.

THE CALL FOR THE 2012/13 LEARNING ENHANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES (LEO) PROJECTS IS NOW OPEN

This year, projects are sought that will demonstrate both an innovative approach to learning and teaching, and address the themes of :

• Enhancing the quality of teaching and/or assessment
• Academic advice and support on study choices

Please note:

• selection of projects will be made on a competitive basis
• projects must be completed within the 2012/13 academic year
• funding is available for small (up to £3000) and medium (up to £5000) projects
• funding is for projects that are beyond the range or scope of usual academic or service practice

Advice on LEO proposals, including information on the application process and  obtaining UEL Ethics Committee approval, is available from the Leader in Learning and Teaching (LILT) within your School/Service, or from a member of Academic Practice and Student Experience..
