New £20m online learning innovation fund & taskforce launched

David Lammy, Minister for Higher Educaton & Intellectual Property launched a new £20m fund to support innovation in e-learning, encouraging universities to work together – and with the private and third sectors – to bid for money to develop new e-learning projects. A new taskforce will look to ensure UK universities are at the forefront of online distance learning.
