It works both ways

• Helps your reputation• Helps your department grow• Helps your teams knowledge• Helps your students• Helps the intern

“Because interns have come through, schools, colleges, universities; they have grown up with technology and had experiences with VLE’s. That means they’ll probably understand it’s uses more than someone who first saw it as part of their job.” - Robert Hutton
