Ministerial support

“Any contemplation of the future now has to include technology… It will not be long until you have to operate in a very different world. A world without barriers.

Where learners expect their own technology to interface with yours. Where the lecture at 9am is now the podcast at anytime. Where it’s as easy to study online with a provider in India as it is to get the bus to the local college”

Bill Rammell, Minister of State for Lifelong Learning, Further and Higher Education

“As a result of the process all staff and stakeholders were now united in carrying

the vision forward.”
