I am afraid I have been on hols so this reply may be too late......that is how I avoided the Chardonay/whisky/gin/rum and blues on 11/09/96, I just buried my head in the sand...ok so the tan is fading now!!! :>)) The students and assessments are back!!! Thank you Ian for the mention!!!! Inspiration (now available through Iansyst, 65 pounds plus VAT from Nov'95) is an American program for brain storming and mind-mapping. I have been using it with students for over a year now and find it very helpful. It can be configured in many ways, works on Windows 3.1 up to '95 and converts graphical ideas set in mind-map format into a linear format or vice versa with a simple Ctrl+T command. Congrats to Sunderland....please tell me all the tricks!!!:>) We hope to follow in your footsteps...... >The staff at NERAC are busy putting together an information pack, please >advise if you would like to be added to our mailing list........Yes please!!! Snowden award.......Access funds available in most universities can now be used for specific items and help for certain students. Do check your university's ruling, but we have found that we can claim through this fund if there is a genuine problem... Insurance...why does this vary according to the LEA? ....East Sussex are wonderful as they cover the student's equipment!!! Very necessary in Halls, Endsleigh (01273 622422) will only insure a student's computer if they have also insured their personal belongings with the company. Techno Care Insurance (0800-590561; three months free insurance!) offer a wide range of services. We have insured our daughter's computers under our household policy for an extra 20 pounds for each computer up to the value of 1000 pounds. (Both at Uni but their computers are not that good!!) This is through Llloyds!!! Fo those who have tried to get through to me at Sussex, I am now the proud owner of a direct line......I think it will soon work!!!!
