Aims and objectives• keeping up to date with advances in learner experience

research, including learner experience with technology;• disseminating our own work in a collegial setting;• exploring methodologies suitable for learner experience

in the North West area can join.• invite and welcome members in to our ELESIG

North West regional group on elesig.ning.com.• organise themed events and webinars within

the scope of ELESIG, and at each of those events leaving some space for discussing our own work.
