Project - JISC Learning Technology Career Development Scoping Study

Learning Technology Career Development Scoping Study:

"The learning technology career development scoping study was undertaken by a team from the Institute for Learning and Research Technology, University of Bristol, University of Plymouth and University of Glamorgan, funded by the JISC CALT. The study investigated the roles, skills and activities of learning technology staff in the UK and the impact of learning technologies are having on institutions. The study used an institutional audit methodology to gather the data and allow people across an institution to work together to examine their progress and development of learning technology and the people involved in this.

The original study was funded by the JISC between 2000 and 2001. Follow up funding has been provided until 31 March 2003. The follow up funding was provided to write a series of briefing papers targeted at different HE audiences, for example, academic staff, librarians, managers of learning technology staff. Each of the briefing papers presents findings from the very substantial study which are of particular relevance to each audience. These briefing papers are available here. In addition, the original methodological tools have been reviewed and reworked and are available though the ELTI project to assist institutions in undertaking institutional audits to inform the process of embedding learning technologies, assist in developing institutional structures, culture and expertise and to encourage cross boundary collaboration and groupings."
