Appropriate & Practical Technologies for Students, Teachers, Administrators and Researchers

In January 2008, the Bloomsbury Colleges were awarded £195,000 to manage the APT STAIRS project. The project is investigating new technologies which provide a common space for users (students, teachers, administrators and researchers) with different skills to work online together.  This innovative project is focusing on the use of online collaborative tools, and aims to encourage uptake and adoption across the six partners in the Bloomsbury Colleges consortium.

Part of the funding is being distributed across the six Colleges to run demonstrator projects, which are using Google Docs and other similar tools, to engage all users in supporting and developing learning, teaching, administration and research.
