Risk assessment for the distributed e-learning regional pilots and Higher Education Academy Subject Centre projects
JISC wishes to commission an individual or team to identify the key risks facing a number of projects within the Distributed e-Learning strand of the e-Learning Programme, and plan the provision of advice and training to help projects minimise these risks. The risk assessment should focus particularly on the risks associated with the types of project and areas of work undertaken by the regional pilots and Higher Education Academy Subject Centre projects, rather than on the sort of generic risks which are attendant on all projects.
The proposed study will support the regional distributed e-learning pilot projects, funded under JISC Circular , and the Higher Education Academy Subject Centre projects.
The objectives of this study are to:
- identify the risks to the projects
- provide projects with an annotated bibliography of available guidance which could help them mitigate risks and avoid potential pitfalls
- work with JISC to identify and prioritise areas in which face to face or online training for projects is required
- identify sources of such training, and provide advice on scheduling
- provide a plan for an ongoing support structure for these projects
Around £25,000 to £35,000 (including VAT and expenses) is available for this study over a three month period (January-April 2005).
