Creative ways to promote the use of technology at Universities

One of the best examples in the use of new technologies in Education is the  Open University's. During four years their initiative 'eSTEeM' have been bringing together academics (STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to promote innovation in online learning. They are providing a mechanism for professional development through practice-based scholarship within a mentored community.

In the Science field they have a lab where they accept students and academic to access experiments with new technologies
 Among their activities they facilitate feedback forums where student can suggest ideas: For example in their 'Ecological interactions on iSpot' they provide the link to a forum with feedback's aims.
