About the Teaching & Learning Support SIG
The group can meet “virtually” using the JISCmail email list: www.jiscmail.ac.uk/aulc-tls
The aim of the SIG is to help members share and improve their knowledge of technical matters and language learning resources. Join to discuss the needs of teachers and learners and exchange technical information and solve problems of AV and computer use in language learning and teaching. The above is also the list for identifying and exchanging language resources.
Meetings will generally be held as parallel sessions during AULC AGMs. Extra meetings can be arranged as the group decides.
