From: Announcement list for the JISC e-Learning Programme. On Behalf Of Sarah DAVIES Sent: 21 May 2013 10:24 Subject: Jisc summer of student innovation Dear all, This summer we are looking to fund students who have new ideas on how to use technology to improve university life. Any student registered at a UK university can submit an idea. If the idea proves popular then we will consider it for funding. We are looking for small, practical projects that can run over the summer with ?5,000 available for successful ideas. So if your students have a brainwave, encourage them to come and join us for a summer of student innovation. Students who join the Summer of Innovation will get the chance to the chance to create real technology solutions, have the technology they create adopted by universities and join events where they can meet the other student teams as well as technical experts. Once an idea has been submitted to the Summer of Innovation website, people will be able to vote if they like the idea. People can vote once per idea but can vote for as many ideas as they like. Once the voting period closes on the 17th of June, Jisc and partners will evaluate every idea that reaches 150 votes from at least 3 different universities and select those that will receive funding. This crowd sourcing mechanism will allow us to fund ideas that are likely to offer benefits to students and to universities. The combination of crowd sourcing and small agile projects allows ideas to be focused tightly on solving a particular problem that is experienced by many students at a range of higher and further education institutions. It also enables experimentation with new ideas and technology that appeal to a large group of people while keeping costs and risks low. For more information and funding details, please see the website: http://elevator.jisc.ac.uk/. The Summer of Student Innovation has emerged from the pilot Jisc co-design programme. This programme has enabled Jisc, RLUK, RUGIT, SCONUL, and UCISA to work together to identify a selection of strategic innovations that could benefit the HE sector. The Summer of Student Innovation has been designed as an experiment to see if students can develop technology that can improve the student experience.
