So here is the problem: research quality is a nebulous concept and it takes many years to work out whether someone's output has actually high quality or not. This is especially hard for non-insiders.

So here is a typical solution: use the quality of research publications as a proxy for likely high quality in the future and use that to measure performance. Academics will recognise that solution as it is precisely what they try to employ internally.

just cannot accept excuses about technology being optional, whether it's from someone who is new to teaching or others who are close to retirement.

This is a collection of 2 Minute Moodles - an attempt to simplify and show how to use a range of Moodle features to a busy teacher. The tutorials try not to assume too much previous knowledge and are presented for the pragmatical and not necessarily tech-savy users (Moodle purists please excuse). They are a bit like that product I got the pun from - something quick and simple to get you going.
