Other ways to fulfil your resource needs
- Include software needs in your programme budget. Discuss this with your Programme Leader in advance, if appropriate
- Get more colleagues on board to trial new resources. This can be facilitated by budgets from cluster teaching and learning leads and/or through communities of practice (for cross-cluster trials)
