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
