An evaluation report of the FDTL Phase 4 programme.
The Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning (FDTL) was established in 1995 to support projects aimed at stimulating developments in teaching and learning in higher education and to encourage the dissemination of good teaching and learning practice across the higher education sector. FDTL is funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Department for Employment and Learning (DEL).
A total of 38 projects were funded under FDTL Phase 4 and funding began in October 2002. Over 50 higher education institutions (HEIs) in England and Northern Ireland were directly involved in the programme as project leaders or partners. FDTL funding is directed at institutions that have received recognition for the quality of their educational provision through the Quality Assurance Agency subject/institutional reviews. The fourth phase of funding was linked to those subjects that had recently been reviewed by the QAA and to key areas of interest in those subjects e.g. assessment feedback work-based learning.
