SHSC eLearning StrategyJuly 2010

“The use of Research Archive and Digital asset Repository (RADAR)  We will promote the use of RADAR which is the university’s central research

archive, which is publicly available. It is also provides a searchable database of teaching resources available only to Brooke’s staff and students.

We will   Upload teaching materials from a range of SHSC programmes in order to avoid

duplication, save time,  to share frequently used material and showcase achievements and demonstrate appropriate use of copyright and branding within teaching materials.

Promote the uploading of the SHSC published research and knowledge outputs Encourage the identification and sharing of generic teaching resourcesEnsure that programmes are accountable for the currency of resources”
