Abstract :
Following the establishment of Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning
in England and Northern Ireland in 2005, several institutions have used
these to pursue specific pedagogical approaches at a strategic level, in line with
and building on existing institutional strategic thinking. Technologyenhanced
learning is often one of the vehicles to implement these pedagogical
approaches, leading to institution-wide attempts to identify and support suitable
technologies. This paper discusses the role of the educational developer in
this process and what impact this particular role might have at strategic level,
bearing in mind the numerous simultaneous developments that take place in
an institution at any one time.
