Beyond Colloquia
Since 1996, the Humanities Computing Unit and the LTG has been organizing a series of events, exploring the impact of new technologies on literature, learning, and our cultural resources. Information about the Beyond colloquia and proceedings are available from the following links:
beyond the learner |
This event discussed, at a high level, the student and Government perceptions of e-learning. In particular what do learners actually think of e-learning?

chalk and talk |
