At the University of Hertfordshire we have TextHelp Gold and
Inspiration networked on all the pc's in our LRC.
My role is to work with students and staff on how to use the
technology. The responsibility for proposing the purchase of
upgrades of current software and possibly new software falls to
me. I work for the Equality Unit but I am based in the LRC. This is
a system that works really well for us.
If you want some more information, please contact me off list.
