ANORAKS TO THE RESCUE

The University of Bristol’s Learning Technology Support Service (LTSS) created the ‘Anorak Rating System’ in March 2001. The original purpose was to provide a simple method for rating articles and reports in the LTSS newsletter, Interact, for readability and interest levels. However, what started out as a simple rating system, soon developed into an effective and useful resource for engaging and motivating University staff to explore the use of learning technology in their learning and teaching practices.
