STELLA Teaching Packages
With members of the academic staff, STELLA introduced computing into undergraduate courses in English. From the beginning, principles important to us have been to use the technology to complement and enhance teaching, not to replace it, and to ensure that computers are used in ways relevant to our teaching methods and course content, as opposed to introducing computer techniques just because they are possible. We believe that well-designed computer programs can deal with the more repetitive tasks in, for instance, language learning, thereby freeing the teacher to concentrate on more complex ideas in seminars and tutorials. Another very useful role for computers is that of giving access to digitized copies of materials which are otherwise difficult for students to obtain.
