*The ABC and Education Services Australia invite interested businesses, individuals and institutions to submit proposals for the creation of interactive digital educational tools aligned to the Australian Curriculum to feature as part of a new ABC education portal. This is an exciting new project for the ABC that will allow it to develop and increase its audience reach and online presence.* http://www.abc.net.au/learn/proposals.htm Background In December 2011, Ministers Conroy and Garrett announced the $19.4 million funding for a new online education portal to be developed by the ABC and Education Services Australia (ESA). See joint press release for Department of Communications, Broadband and the Digital Economy (DBCDE) and Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Reform (DEEWR): www.minister.dbcde.gov.au/media/media_releases/2011/299 Further information: www.abc.net.au/learn/education-portal.htm Application brief The ABC is seeking a range of projects to be delivered over the course of the life of the project (ending December 2014). Successful projects will be innovative, highly engaging and interactive educational tools for use by students and families in the home and by students and teachers in the classroom. The ABC also seeks to license suitable existing products for a three year period. All licenses should enable the content to be available exclusively for the Australian territory. The funding cannot cover projects which seek commercial gain within the Australian market. License fees will be subject to negotiation. There will be a number of funding rounds across the three year project (2012-2014). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
