HCA nirvana online

• a general sort of website where everything can
  be lifted from all the departments which submit

what we really want

• What we dont have is stuff that we can slot in
  relatively easy into our teaching and learning
  objectives, which will either act as a co-related
  resource, or become part of the primary core
  resource. And, I mean, I think thats what we
  really need, is the things we can actually bolt
  in and actually run with, with a minimal amount
  of input from us as individuals, we dont have to
  re-design the whole thing or re-invent the
  wheel.

the DeL II resources should be accessible sh
areable interactive sustainable

• The strategy of simply making resources
  available to students and to teachers without
  contextualising their use, embedding them into
  practice and assessing them has not worked.
• (The Tavistock Institute 1996, quoted in The
  ACETS Project Report, www.acets.ac.uk)
