Dear Paul
Which organisations did you have in mind? In my view, the principal value of
the ILT is that it cuts across disciplinary boundaries and should stimulate
pedagogic discourse between members of different academic 'tribes'. I note that
you have a computing/maths background. From my own experience at Sheffield
Hallam University it has been quite difficult to discuss pedagogic issues with
colleagues from your area. Of course, it might be different at John Moores. My
background is in Businees and Management and one specific concern is the
challenge of getting students to apply their learning in quantitative subjects
in other contexts. In other words, to be a little provocative, quantitative
modules/units tend to be 'ring fenced' as far as learning is concerned.
