Yorkshire & Humber Case Studies
The latest case studies from the Yorkshire & Humber region are live on the Excellence Gateway:
 Barnsley College: A whole college approach to interaction within the classroom
At Barnsley College, the Learning Technologies Unit (LTU) carried out research indicating a need to increase staff confidence in using technologies, increase availability of resources and improve interaction between staff and students. A pilot scheme using an interactive wireless tablet focussed on providing staff with a tool that enables them to provide a more engaging learning experience. Senior management supported the pilot, enabling a full roll out of interactive slates to all staff. The resulting whole college approach has shown a significant impact on staff and student experience.

Wyke Sixth Form College: Biometric recognition – improving the responsiveness of the library
Due to the time involved in creating student library cards and problems caused by lost and forgotten cards, Wyke Sixth Form College integrated biometric (fingerprint) scanning technology into its library processes. This change has significantly improved account generation and response times, enabling resources to be borrowed immediately, and reduced the potential financial and time impact caused by lost and forgotten cards.
