The effective- ness of solutions—proposed in previous work—seeking to overcome staff resistance to using computer-based learning and teaching methods is evaluated. It is reported that all staff now use e-mail, with half regularly doing so to communicate with or in response to communication from students. There is a shift to staff using more Computer Aided Learning (CAL) packages in their teaching, with a much wider range of teaching media in use.</p><p>Conclusions are drawn that identified an increased awareness among staff as to what computer-based learning and teaching methods can do and how they can be integrated into existing teaching. A move away from technical and hardware barriers towards more pedagogical issues of learning technology use is identified. Suggestions, such as increased one-to-one support and training and good-practice dissemination, are proposed to enable the school to achieve its aim of allowing all staff to make appropriate choices regarding the use of learning technologies within their teaching.</p> ER -
