Barriers identified by champions


Facilitators' time
'Staff needed more time to create resources and to think about integration and how technologies would be included in their teaching. More reflective time needed to ensure quality in production and reflective practice needs to be encouraged'.

Resources
'The environment needs to be changed - the concept of 'classrooms' needs to be re-thought and the building re-engineered and re-wired so that the physical space can be used differently.'2 'ILTs need to become an integral part of learning - habitual, which means re-thinking class sizes, layout and structures.'3

Facilitators' competences and rewards for development
'Continual professional development of staff is necessary and ILT CPD needs to be integrated into and given prominence in appraisal.'
Angela Hunt - e-learning champion

3 The work of Collis and van der Wende suggests that this type of radical change is very rare - at least in HE - their domain of study. The majority of institutions they studied were adopting very slow change - gradually adding technologies but institutions that have made really radical changes such as the University of Twente are very exceptional.
