The TRAs support original pedagogic research studies that can provide evidence for innovative and effective practice in distance and technology-enhanced learning, teaching and assessment.  Applications are welcome from any staff member involved in the planning and/or the delivery of distance learning at either undergraduate or postgraduate levels within the University of London and its Colleges, and they have a value up to £5000.
