• www.furthereducationresearch.org/index.htm It's Welsh in origin, but a quick skim reveals some useful, current and critical papers--good stuff to inform up-coming submissions (especially Year 2).
• The Research Centre at City College Norwich; perhaps not as immediately useful, but a good source to bookmark.

Have a good break!

Study Day Evaluation 24 March 2012

The response to Sue Cowley's session, with a 93% rating of "very stimulating", was extraordinary even for her, even up on last year's paltry 86%!

Evaluations 030312

It appears that a number of questionnaires may have been mislaid, so this summary is based on only 53 returns, (about 20-25%) and can't really be relied upon. If you happen to have the missing sheets, please let us have them back and their results can be incorporated.

There was only one suggestion for another e-learning resource: Maths for Life, by Malcolm Swan. He has written quite a lot but I couldn't find any distinctively e-learning material from him--perhaps the person who suggested this could provide further details. Thanks.
