Subject: Annenberg/CPB's new higher education guidelines are out

Western Cooperative members:

The Annenberg/CPB Projects recently released the 1994 guidelines
for its Higher Education Program.  Proposals should address one
of the following three Initiatives:


Initiative I is for the development of "coherent, course-sized
bodies of rich instructional resources" whose content addresses
one or more of the following priorities:

     -- completing the curriculum for a two-year degree

     -- developing materials in child care and parenting

     -- creating the means for learners and educators to
        understand and exploit emerging technology

     -- revising and augmenting materials currently in the
        Annenberg/CPB Collection.

Approximately $2.5 million is available for several projects.
Typical projects should be completed in 1-2 years.  Proposals
are due July 1, 1994.


Initiative II is a call for preliminary proposals for an
international co-production of introductory courses in
Philosophy, Music, Religion, and Arts Appreciation.  One to
three preliminary proposals will be selected, taken to an
international meeting of producers, and one selected to submit a
final proposal.  A one-page summary of your proposal is due May
2, 1994 and a ten-page preliminary proposal will be due June 10,
1994.


Initiative III relates to the development of "better means for
faculty members to help one another rethink their courses in
ways that take advantage of available technologies and teaching
ideas."    Annenberg/CPB expects to fund five projects from a
total pool of $600,000.  Each project should involve a team of
faculty from at least three institutions and should focus on one
or more standard courses that some institutions have begun to
update and improve through uses of computers, video media,
and/or telecommunications.    Proposals submitted to Initiative
III are due by July 15, 1994.

Guidelines, leave a message on the voice mail at 202-879-9644 or
