Have you heard of the Digital Media and Learning Competition? HASTAC and the MacArthur Foundation held the first Digital Media and Learning Competition in 2007. A total of two million dollars was awarded to 17 projects representing compelling work in the field of Digital Media and Learning.
The second (2008) Competition similarly seeks to mobilize the field of Digital Media and Learning through a $2 million open call, supporting learning entrepreneurs, educators, communicators, and innovators. The Competition supports pioneers who use new technologies to envision the future of participatory learning.
