The Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning (FDTL) programme is part of the subject strand of the Teaching Quality Enhancement Fund and is supported by the HEFCE and the Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) in Northern Ireland.
The Fund 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. Since 1995, the Fund has supported 130 projects throughout HEFCE-funded institutions.
The aims of phase four of the FDTL are to stimulate developments in learning and teaching and to secure the widest possible involvement of institutions in the take-up and implementation of good practice.
Phase four of the FDTL was funded over the three-year period 2002 to 2005 and covered the 13 subject areas assessed by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education in the period October 1998 to September 2000.
