How does ELESIG do this?
ELESIG is once again offering small grants to our community members to engage in activities in line with our aim to develop a shared repertoire of resources which will be of benefit to the community and the sector and which build on shared knowledge and practice about learner experience research.
Proposals are invited from individuals or groups, which lead to the production of outputs which will help ELESIG meet this aim such as by supporting members to stay in touch with the field of learner experience research, to disseminate advances in methods for learner experience research or to network with other researchers.
If you have any questions, please post them in our Small Grants Scheme FAQs forum, which will be monitored by members of the ELESIG Organising Committee.
