Show best researchers the money tree WIT HOTSPOT -- Money motivates people and that motivation works for learning professionals too. However, at EdTech 2003, most of the money conversations occurred in corridors or in corners of the canteen. While that normally points to the presence of collaboration, the unwashed masses of attendees would appreciate an upfront expository declaration of who got what from where. The day of easy financial handouts from the national government has long passed. Those third level institutions who have a future-proof strategy will send people in search of money to ILTA events. And those who attend who aren't considering research funding and seed financing are not building a sustainable model. I've seen some branches of the money tree. - WIT received funding under the Socrates programme for the Open Distance Learning Programme.
- DLIADT got a jump start for its initial seed funding through the Irish-Newfoundland partnership.
- Dysg can avail of INTERREG grants.
