By putting a spotlight on examples of innovative and creative uses of technology in tertiary education in the west of Scotland, we aimed to inspire and encourage institutions to engage in a spirit of knowledge exchange and collaboration. Well, inspire you we did! We now have an astounding collection of nearly 60 case studies including a good number of podcasts and videos, all freely available on our website to browse or download at your leisure. Our iTech Awards Ceremony was the grand finale of our Future Focus annual conference in June and was a resounding success! With at least one case study from each of our supported institutions, short listing and marking the case studies was not an easy task for our steering group. The short list of nominees narrowed the field down to 4 finalists in Technology & Business Systems, Access & Inclusion and Learner Services. There were 6 finalists for the Learning and Teaching short list, due to the high number of case studies that fell into this category. One Winner and Two Highly Commended trophies were awarded in this category. We may have lacked sunshine in the West of Scotland over the summer but dust off your sunglasses and pop them on now to avoid being dazzled by the beaming smiles of our trophy winners in the following few pages! You can browse the entire collection of case studies, dip in and out of them and see what caught the judges’ attention! Will you be aiming for an iTech Award next June?
