Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) is a phrase
used to describe teaching and learning methods that are supported
or facilitated by the use of technology. This could include
accessing teaching resources and activities online, communication
tools and multimedia, online assessment, and classroom
technologies, such as personal response systems and interactive
whiteboards. We support a number of technologies to facilitate TEL.
