WHAT WE DO

Within the overall remit of CAP, the CAP-ET activities support and develop the use of ICT in academic practice, predominantly teaching and learning.

CAP-ET promotes and develops good practice in this area, implementing innovative methods of teaching and evaluating their effectiveness. It is a priority to move teaching developments from the innovative enthusiasts and early adopters to mainstream adoption and embedding of new practices.
