plans

The remit of the Technology Enhanced Learning Team (TELT) is to ensure that:
  • QMUL staff and students are empowered to make the most effective use of learning technologies in all teaching and learning contexts;
  • learning technologies provided within QMUL continually support the particular needs of our staff and students and that these needs are well understood by us;
  • QMUL remains at the leading edge of UK HEIs in its technology enhanced learning provision and always looks ahead for new technologies and new ways to use existing technologies to enhance learning.
The ELU’s day-to-day activities work towards a number of objectives in the College Strategy 2014 and the Student Experience, Teaching, Learning and Assessment (SETLA) strategy as well as our own TELT Strategy.
