£90,000 Awarded to the Bloomsbury Colleges to Share International Development Digital Resources Online
26 May 2010
The latest thinking on international development from leading academics will be shared online via podcasts and videos as part of a new initiative. The 15-month project, called the Bloomsbury Media Cloud, is led by The Bloomsbury Colleges - a consortium of six internationally-renowned institutions within the University of London.
Interviews and lectures will be produced and made publicly available online to raise awareness of major challenges in developing countries, including animal health, climate change and education. The resources will be of particular interest to international development researchers and students worldwide. The project is being undertaken in collaboration with the London International Development Centre (LIDC), and is funded by £90,000 from the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). This work builds on the Bloomsbury Learning Environment collaboration - a shared e-learning service comprising the Blackboard Academic Suite and a range of innovative technologies.
