Technology enhanced learning

Technology enhanced learning (TEL) (sometimes referred to as enabled learning) is often used to refer to e-learning, but also includes the enhancement of face-to-face learning through the use of technology.

TEL is a rapidly expanding field with specific types of technology increasingly being used by different disciplines. This can range from virtual and augmented reality to simulation-based approaches to teaching and learning.

The CELT Learning Technologies Team have expertise in supporting academic staff to utilise a wide range of technology in both teaching and assessment. You can identify the team's specialist interests and skills through their staff profiles in the About us section of these pages or simply email celt@sunderland.ac.uk detailing the nature of the support / advice you need.
