The University of Cambridge is joining forces with Nottingham and London Metropolitan Universities to create a Centre for Excellence in Teaching & Learning (CETL) in Reusable Learning Objects.
CETLs are a Higher Education Funding Council for England initiative aimed at promoting excellence and innovation in university teaching and learning across a wide range of subjects.
The Cambridge, Nottingham and LMU CETL will focus on producing and evaluating small chunks of web-based teaching material, known as Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs), in different academic disciplines.
It will be officially launched in London on Monday, 7 November by Brian Roper, the Vice-Chancellor of London Metropolitan University. The keynote speech will be delivered by Professor Diana Laurillard, Chair of Learning with Digital Technologies at the Institute of Education. Dr Kate Pretty, Pro-Vice-Chancellor with Special Responsibilities, will speak on behalf of the University of Cambridge.
There will also be a demonstration of some of the preliminary RLOs developed as part of the Wolfson Reward Programme, where subject experts and developers spent a week at Wolfson College, Cambridge and at the University's Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies (CARET).
University of Cambridge staff who wish to attend the launch should contact Katy Cherry at CARET on katy@caret.cam.ac.uk or 01223 765357.
