3. Background to UON activity Focus on design and delivery of modules Recognition that: ‘.......the use of the technology itself is increasingly not a distinguishing factor for organisations, but rather the quality of that use and the way it advances the goals of a change resilient organisation become essential to success.’ (Marshall, 2010) CAIeRO (Creating Aligned and Interactive educational Resource Opportunities) -based on Carpe Diem model

4. Builds on existing projects BITE E4L TIGER

5. Key reflections on use of the toolkit A useful tool for prompting discussions within the team. Brought an enhanced quality dimension to CAIeRO discussions – refined paperwork Encouraged the team to look at the importance of quality early in the CAIeRO process. (pre CAIeROs ?) Whilst the toolkit focused on TEL – the discussions around it were much more about general pedagogy. Would have benefited from better numbering / colour coding to allow for easier referencing. Target parts of the toolkit for different groups (some parts are mandatory for the institution)
