More than 50 people attended our workshop at the ALT conference, following an equally healthy turnout for Dave’s paper on the expectations of incoming school students. We introduced some findings from the HE study and asked participants to respond to five postcards from the future, outlining how student expectations and needs might change. You can […]

In fact it was more of a design meeting, as the twitter stream and photographic evidence both show. Pipecleaners, bobbles, directional arrows and […]
The Academic Practice with Technology conference in Greenwich (8 July) was our last ‘specialist’ consultation event. Issues that came up in the twitter stream for the conference show just how relevant our work is to current practitioners: bring/build your own, the need to prepare students to study with technology, integration at the level of services, […]
