Although restructuring is taking place the excellent networks that have been built upon this year will continue as we move to the new structure. Although elements of the current teaching and learning directorate will not be housed together we will continue to work with colleagues in team such as Technology Enhanced Learning, Careers, Learning Development and Disability Assist, PedRIO, Educational Development and Centre for Sustainable Futures… to build upon this years successes. Thanks from support of ADTL’s this year – all of our work has taken place across all faculties and for we look forward to building on this years successes in helping to support the universities teaching and learning agenda.
