The UK HE sector is one of constant change. In order to maximise and maintain effectiveness, it is important universities establish the mechanisms to remain abreast of technological and pedagogical developments. The LTDU Observatory identifies and evaluates emerging technologies and learning theories. Specifically, the Observatory:

* isolates emerging technologies and modes of delivery that could potentially assist UWIC in meeting its strategic objectives;

* is active in seeking to secure external relationships and funded research (JISC, HE Academy) in order to remain abreast of change;

* provides updates on these developments through strategic reports, workshops, LTDU conference and web page content;

* guides and advises on potential pilot L&T projects and initiatives;

* liaises with UWIC stakeholders (Disability Services, Facilities and ISD) to ensure the piloting, embedding and delivery of emerging technologies.
