At the ELT meeting this evening, a thorough discussion was held about the progress of the project, ARH made a brief presentation looking at the data that has been collected so far, the blog comments were an invaluable help here, the discussion covered a huge range off issues but primarily the focus was on the ways in which teaching and learning could take advantage of the technologies. I think it would be fair to say that there was cautions optimism as to the benefits that could be gained, we created a checklist of “I would like it to do …. this included, Research, Simulations, Analysis, Collaboration, Data collection, Organisation, Constant/instant comms, Design. There was recognition that a key to the success of this would be to support staff with modelling good practice and providing staff the support to embed some ideas into regular practice. Decisions on the actual device will be made within the next month.
