Contact Us

Our team is currently a small one but we're a friendly bunch; so if you ever need any specialist advice or just want a chat about learning technologies, e-pedagogies and ways in which you can harness the benefits of technology for learning, feel free to email, call or just pop in to our office in Temple Hall for a chat.

Primarily we are here to collaborate with academic staff by providing training, specialist advice and by working in partnership to help contribute towards an exceptional student experience.

If you are interested in enriching the student experience by experimenting with different and diverse methods of delivering your learning and teaching, then you should come and speak to us for advice on how you can do this. In many cases, we can help you take your ideas forward by assisting with the development of some aspects of your learning materials.

We're located at the top of the spiral staircase in Temple Hall TW0M01.
