JISC ITT: Develop and/or demonstrate toolkits within the E-Learning Framework (ELF)

The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) invites proposals to:

a) DEVELOP A NEW TOOLKIT - to produce software development kits (known as E-Learning Framework (ELF) Toolkits) that enable developers to create applications that ‘Provide Services’ and ‘Consume Services’ as defined within the e-Learning Framework

OR

b) DEVELOP AN EXISTING TOOLKIT – to trial (that is install, test, demonstrate, evaluate and contribute to), the use of one or more of the ELF Toolkits

A total of £500,000 is available for this work and as a general guideline it is expected that most projects will be awarded funding of between £30,000 and £50,000 depending on the extent and complexity of the work involved.

The deadline for receipt of proposals is 13:00 hours on Monday 28 November 2005. Projects are expected to last for six months. They should start as soon as possible and no later than 1 February 2006, with submission of the final work on or before 31 July 2006.
