\"\"<\/a>We\u2019ve been using technology in teaching for years, some of it for so long that we don\u2019t even think of it as technology any more. Keeping up to date with delivery techniques helps ensure a good experience for our students.<\/p>\n

Here in the Learning Technology Development team we look for up and coming ideas that are attracting the interests of academic staff and students. Although new technology is sometimes seen as the answer to a question that was never asked, after a while someone will attempt to use it to help learning. By following the experiences of these early adopters we are able to assist the uptake of new technology, and the development of techniques to use it for a wider audience.<\/p>\n

So where does technology emerge from and how can you keep up to date?<\/p>\n

There are many web-sites, and social \/ professional networks that can provide insight into what\u2019s happening now and what\u2019s coming up\u2026<\/p>\n
