The Writer's Toolbox Story
“Any venture into computer-aided learning cannot be binary, or based on some tick-box assessment regime. We must engage the student—right where they are. At their most teachable moment. In a way that speaks to them—and gives them a profoundly different view of their future. This is not just a challenge; it is our duty.”
Dr Ian Hunter
