We envisage a one-year cycle to the Edutech RIG. The first semester will give a theoretical/practical introduction to the use of technology in education; the second will involve the planning, delivering and writing-up of projects

Semester 1
1. **Practice** is the 'hook'. RIG members gain insight into a number of possible resources and their basic use. Members will:
 * learn the practical uses of the resources;
 * be asked to reflect on best practice for the resources and their pedagogical foundations.

2. **Theory** RIG members will:
 * read and discuss papers which explore the use of technology in education

In this semester members will be encouraged to try out the tools with students to help see both the potential benefits and problems of the resources in their teaching context

Semester 2
3. **Research & Design** Members will research and design a project to use with their students. The project will require:
 * theoretical and pedagogical justification
 * clearly stated aims and objectives

3. **Project** Members will:
 * deliver their projects in the teaching settings
 * write papers/presentations to for delivery to journals and/or conferences
