| Start/End Date: | The BLU, a HEFCE CETL, was established in 2005 and the refurbishment and repurposing work was carried out from mid 2005 and the spaces were brought into service in February and May 2006. |
Funding Sources
The BLU draws on recurrent funding to enable a core of blended learning teachers to have the time and resources to develop and evaluate their own practice and research, and support a variety of dissemination activities. It used part of its capital funding to equip the two dedicated learning spaces and to set up a visible presence within the Learning Resource Centre at the College Lane Campus.
