Accordingly, the Centre promotes the development of pedagogically sound conceptions of teaching and learning in higher education which can then underpin and guide innovation and development work by academics and other staff.

Colloquia  ... a software system that supports group working and group learning. It allows any user to set up a working or learning group around a particular topic (a context), add people to it, add resources (web pages, documents etc) to it, set up group tasks, and then engage in group and personal "conversations" about the topic.

Something strange about this page. Erratic - soemtimes there, sometimes not.  toomol.bangor.ac.uk/ll/ is a possible alternative. Enlightenment welcome.
