Propose a new learning technology

If you are interested in a new technology and would like the group to look in to it further, view the digital toolkit to ensure it's not listed there. After which you can make a case to adopt a new learning technology with the following document.

• Making a case for adopting a new learning technology (PDF, 296.67 KB) (opens in a new window)

This document explains the pedagogical and business justification for adopting a new technology, based on the estimated costs (including implementation and incremental ongoing operations costs) against the anticipated benefits to be gained and offset by any associated risks. This case will be considered by LaTTe.
