Webducate project wins Talis Incubator for Open Education funding
We are very pleased and excited to announce that the Webducate project to create an e-learning authoring tool called Drawtivity has been awarded funding by the Talis Incubator for Open Education. This project aims to create a new form of web based authoring system that offers functionality to facilitate the open reuse and adaptation of all authored activities. Drawtivity activities themselves will involve the participant marking out a line or area on an image and then receiving feedback on the accuracy of their attempt through seeing a correct answer and a percentage accuracy score. Watch this space for more information soon.

We at Webducate provided technical advice and the web development for these resources as part of a multi-institutional project funded by LearnHigher. We would like to express our particular appreciation to Carol Elston (University of Leeds) who provided enormous energy and vision to the project and without whom this success would not have been achieved.
