• TLRP: an
opportunity
to fulfil a sense of moral purpose • The spirit of the Enlightenment: the application of reason to ‘improve’ our society (with implicit value commitments too) • Pragmatism: we make our contribution to the future, but we must do it in the present. We cannot choose where we start from • Nothing stays the same: we can, and will, make a difference to the future of UK educational provision
Teaching and Learning Research Programme TLRP Communication and impact plan
‘We conceive impact not as a simple linear flow, but as a much more collaborative process: interactive, iterative, constructive, distributed and transformative.’ User engagement is important at
all
stages of research, and is likely to significantly enhance dissemination and impact.

Teaching and Learning Research Programme TLRP Output Review
a systematic review of many different kinds of output that projects might want to consider. Distinction between: •
stage
of project development, •
audience
•
form
of output
Teaching and Learning Research Programme Let a thousand flowers bloom - but consider the overall effect
Given the uniqueness of each project, a differentiated output strategy is likely to be most effective in maximising impact. Additionally however, there are significant benefits from the presentation of degree of overall Programme coherence.
