New for 17/18 is the launch of the Digital Partners action research projects.
Each member of the LTSU team is taking a specific learning and teaching challenge and working with an, or a team of, academics to explore the issue and provide a solution.
As the projects are action research there will be evaluation and refection following implementation of the initial solution. Each project will have a blog post which will be updated throughout its phases. The projects are:
