MEC Sales and Marketing Director, John Murray writes:

 

'During my presentation at LABCI I aimed to demonstrate the benefits of different learning technologies from the perspective of their suitability in whole class teaching contexts, and outside the classroom for independent study and practice. I proposed that on-line and LMS-style products have the capacity to extend the classroom learning experience in interesting, creative and productive ways. I also explored the notion that "technology" cannot be viewed in isolation, and that without high-quality content, and training for teachers, the benefits of investment in technology will not be fully realized.'
