  Human Rights resources
• Students are familiar with a range of learning
  resources in technical subjects
• But there is a limited range of Human Rights
  resources

• The development of ILT material over the last
  decade for technical subjects suggests that there
  is a need for a parallel development programme

  produced by ILT software houses.
