> > Half the survey respondents were female and 94% classified their

> the
> > Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) reveal that ILT has a higher
> > proportion of female academic staff than the sector as a whole but the

> > survey were also more likely to be in full-time posts (93% against 86%)
> > and less likely to be under 35.  The mean length of employment for ILT
> > members on full-time contracts was nearly 14 years.
> > *     83 programmes of staff development at 73 HE institutions have been
> > accredited by the ILT to date.  Over 30 more HEIs are seeking ILT
> > accreditation within the coming year.
> > *     81% of HE institutions now have plans for supporting ILT
> membership
> > as a goal in their institutional Learning and Teaching Strategies.
> > *     The ILT's second Annual Conference, which will be held at the

> > established TechDis (Technology for Disabilities Information Service).
> > *     The ILT is encouraging members to set up local networks and

> at
> > the Conference for members to meet others in their area in 11 local

> > *     The ILT is working on routes for entry to succeed the Individual
