HCA nirvana online…

“…a general sort of website where everything can be lifted

from all the departments which submit links there, and…anybody can access it, and you can easily

simplify the process of getting access to [it] or getting the

password.”Survey interviewee

what we really want…

“What we don’t have is stuff that we can slot in relatively easy into our teaching and learning

objectives, which will either act as a co-related resource, or become part of the primary core resource. And, I mean, I think that’s what we

really need, is the things we can actually bolt in and actually run with, with a minimal amount of

input from us as individuals, we don’t have to re-design the whole thing or re-invent the

wheel.”Survey interviewee and focus group participant

“The strategy of simply making resources available to students [and to teachers] without contextualising their

use, embedding them into practice and assessing them has not worked.”

(The Tavistock Institute 1996, quoted in The ACETS Project Report, www.acets.ac.uk)
