ABSTRACT
The Technology-Enhanced Learning in Research-Led Institutions (TELRI) project was established at the Universities of Warwick and Oxford, funded by a Teaching and Learning Technology Project (TLTP) award from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). The project sought to tackle two interrelated issues. The first is that in many universities the two main activities of research and teaching are not closely linked, and the former has higher status than the latter. The second is that the wider availability of powerful ICT tools brings with it the need to make sure that the tools are used in ways that best support students’ learning. The project aimed to tackle both of these issues by assisting academic staff to develop research-based approaches to teaching, through the effective use of learning technologies.
