The difference between our attitude/plans for computer provision and yours is interesting. We were talking about it after my colleagues came back enthusing about their return visit to St Johns (for which thank you!). <br /><br />We thought it might be something to do with the fact that all/most of the students in college will have a laptop and since they'll use it a decent proportion of the time and probably take it with them most places, then it makes sense to have space to use it in the library - they don't need your computers. Our students are (perhaps) less likely to be carrying round a laptop on a daily basis (certainly wont be taking it on the wards), and so having convenient provision in the library makes sense. <br /><br />Plus there's a move by the clinical school to provide a larger (though by no means a majority) proportion of the teaching online, so that face to face time with tutors can be spent discussing, rather than just listening. <br /><br />Glad you like the staff room & reading matter - but while Update is very interesting I'm sure a few copies of Grazia or Good Food Magazine would be equally well appreciated!<br /><br />I.Isla Kuhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00943455272562052923noreply@blogger.com
