Shan,
I am again surprised by my colleagues in the H.E. sector - ILT is to
develop/find and disseminate good practice within learning and teaching. At
the basic level the SUBJECT being "taught" makes little difference. The
techniques/ideas should be relevant to most subjects. Many of my best and
most successful developments have come from areas far removed from my
subject (I am in Biology and have taken ideas from Engineering, Languages
and Music).
I hope ILT can remove the blinkers from my colleagues and allow them to see
the whole picture.
