Dear Roger and ILT-List,
I guess what I had in mind was organisations liek SEDA, and Oxford
Brookes, whose mailing lists for courses I am on. If the ILT can succeed in
getting lecturers in different subjects and different institutions talking
to each other, that would probably justify the membership fee!
best wishes,
Paul Strickland.
