     The aim of this project is to establish an Educational
     Technology Service at the University of Bristol.
      
     The overall aims will be:
      
         To support and enable academic staff to exploit
         computer-based learning technologies in their
         teaching in ways that are appropriate to their needs
         and aspirations.
      
         To enhance the quality of learning and the cost-
         effectiveness of teaching within the University by
         increasing the availability, utility and quality of
         computer-based courseware.
      
     Specific objectives:
      
         To raise awareness amongst staff of the potential of
         computers to enhance the quality of learning and to
         improve the cost-effectiveness of teaching.
      
         To train lecturing staff in appropriate applications
         of computers in teaching, including the use of
         authoring systems, the production of videodiscs, the
         integration of computer-based courseware into
         existing courses and the use of individual
         courseware packages.
      
         To disseminate information about existing
         courseware, its availability, quality and use.
      
         To act as a co-ordinator and facilitator to support
         the production of new courseware where no
         appropriate material exists.
      
         To carry out research and development into new
         approaches to the use of computers in learning which
         are directly applicable to the needs of university
         courses.
