Learning Technologies
The Educational Technology Unit fulfils various roles within CHERTL and the institution, including
- academic staff development,
- research,
- contributing to formal qualifications, and
- management of technological resources.
We acknowledge that technology is not neutral; that access to technology is not evenly distributed; and that technology can be used either to serve the interests of the status quo in higher education or to contribute to its transformation.
