The seminar will take place on Wednesday 29th June 2005 at the
University of Bristol. Its purpose is to investigate some of the key
issues surrounding the use of digital images in teaching and
learning. It is primarily aimed at further and higher education
teaching and lecturing staff, learning technologists and educational
support staff, but will be suitable for anyone tasked with creating
educational resources.
