In addition to providing support for the increasing adoption of core existing technologies such as the University virtual learning environment, Moodle, e-resources, interactive classroom technologies and media production tools, CeLT plays a major role in identifying the potential of emerging technologies to support and enhance learning and teaching. This is primarily via small-scale evaluation projects in which the CeLT Learning Technologies team work with staff in faculties and other areas of the University in identifying, implementing and evaluating the pedagogical benefits of these new approaches, and assist in making recommendations about how these tools need to be supported and embedded when they are deemed appropriate for institutional adoption.

You can find details of the CeLT Learning Technologies team on our staff pages. Please contact us if you are interested in the issues outlined above..
