E-learning and History Teaching in Higher Education

This questionnaire forms part of a project to find out about how technology is used to teach students in History departments in the UK. The research is funded by the Higher Education Academy (http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/). We want to find out what’s happening so that we can share effective examples with staff and students across the community of History teachers and students in the UK. In another strand of the project we’ll be asking some History lecturers about their experiences as well as surveying the literature on the subject.

The questionnaire should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.

If you have any questions about the project or your participation in it, please feel free to contact Dr Jamie Wood (jamie.wood@manchester.ac.uk), the researcher on the project, who works for the University of Manchester and the Higher Education Academy.
