Hello Sandra
These are difficult times, aren't they? I hope that you find you are not
hampered too in your endeavours by the radical 'changes' at London Met.
You must be very sorry to be losing colleagues. I doubt this will make
things easier, though!
I wonder if we LDHENers would be interested in keeping abreast of the
cuts to Learning Development across the sector? We at Lancaster
certainly have a tale to tell!

Subject: Update on redundancies at London Met
Dear All,
I have been receiving emails recently asking me what has happened about
the proposed deletion of the LDU and Writing Centre here at London Met.
First of all I would like to thank every body who wrote to us and to the
VC ... and to the Times Higher, the blogs and twitters ... your support
has been wonderful and very important.
The outcome has been that whilst the overall cut has been reduced, we do
still lose the LDU and the Writing Centre on the 31st July - with a
significant loss of administrative and academic staff. A new Centre is
to emerge on the 1st August that combines the remaining Education,
Writing, Learning & Blended Learning Development people: The Centre for
the Enhancement of Learning & Teaching (CELT).
The CELT's role and activities will include support for curriculum
transformation, including via the embedding of academic literacies;
promotion of blended learning; professional development in learning and
teaching; policy development; co-curricular learning & writing
development (supporting the Faculties with supporting students); and
income generation through third stream activity.
Thank you again for your concern and your support.
Sandra
