Becta’s Teach us a Lesson competition launches today, Wednesday 7 October, following the speech that Kevin Brennan, the Minister for Further Education, made at the Learning Revolution Expo yesterday.
The competition seeks to find the brightest and best ideas for developing online resources for people to find informal learning opportunities that interest them. This will happen by having entries submitted to the competition website, where they will be commented on and rated by other site users.
An informal event, or unconference, will be held in November to allow all those involved to meet and collaborate on ideas and projects.
Up to five winning projects will be awarded funding to develop prototypes from a total fund of £25,000.
The competition builds upon the ground breaking Show us a Better Way, which began in 2008 and is run by the Cabinet Office.
You can find out more about the competition and its background, or follow the latest on Twitter.
Learners who wish to find events local to them during the Learning Revolution Festival can do so at the dedicated site on DirectGov. Organisers of learning events can connect with one another on the Learning Revolution social network.
