> Hi Terry
> Ron has been working on installing the latest version on our HEA servers to give us a brand new sandpit. It won't have the final latest functionality until after 26 April but it certainly gives people a chance to work on the current "best available" functionality.
>
> The new TechDis sandpit probably won't be fully functional (in terms of self registration and monthly wiping) until Ron has done some more work on it but it may be worth contacting him directly because he has a simple bulk upload process whereby if he gets people's details on a spreadsheet template he has created he can generate many accounts in one go .

> I fear I am going to get a bumpy ride in some HEA corners due to the binding with Xerte I have made but IMHO nothing else comes close to being a consistent vehicle for some student-led resource production which can expose many digital literacy issues. I need to think what is the best mechanism I can use to capture the stories along the way.
>
> We MUST have the latest possible version so if there is another sandpit which would allow potential applicants to explore the functionality now, or one I can recommend. Please point me.

> Re your question;
> Applications are by DISCIPLINE, but I would hope to be able to maximise to number of institutions participating as that establishes ‘nodes’ of Xerte practice. If two different disciplines within the same institution want to put forward a common collaborative bid then that would be attractive as we get more coverage for one installation.
>
> Your current best links to Xerte demonstrations would be valuable for illustration but, IMHO, a Nottingham background and logo all over it will not necessarily boost my “sales pitch” to other institutions. If anything could help sell it for me it would be to have a ‘branding configurator’ which made it very quick and easy for an institution to set up its own distinct presentation: if it looks like it owns it then senior management are far more likely to buy-in to more adoption, especially when there is no site-licence fee.

> Digital Literacy in the Disciplines is a series of mini-projects that aim to develop the use of digital literacies the disciplines. Institutions are invited to bid for one of eight projects (two projects per HEA cluster of disciplines) attracting £5000 of funding per project.
>
> This series of mini-projects is a component of the HEA’s Educational Learning Technologies (ELT) work to develop Digital Literacies through further work in the disciplines. This element is aligned to the theme of ‘Students as Partners’.
>
> In this call we are seeking to fund a series of small projects to establish a consistent approach across a range of disciplines to enable staff to provide students with the opportunity to develop their digital literacies while creating re-usable interactive resources. It complements the JISC Digital Literacies programme to promote coherent, inclusive and holistic institutional strategies and organisational approaches for developing digital literacies for all staff and students in UK further and higher education.

> The project is being delivered by the HEA’s Educational Learning Technologies (ELT) work to develop Digital Literacies in the disciplines. Our intention is to extend awareness and practice through a discipline-based approach to developing digital literacy.
