The JISC-funded APT STAIRS Project (Appropriate & Practical Technologies for Students, Teachers, Administrators and Researchers) is an initiative of the Bloomsbury Consortium, in collaboration with Google.

The APT STAIRS project is testing new collaborative technologies to create a common space where users (students, teachers, administrators and researchers) with different skills can work online together.   The project is focusing on the use of Google Docs and other online document creation tools to ensure uptake and adoption across the six partners in the consortium of Bloomsbury Colleges.

They also recently conducted the Bloomsbury Survey of Web Use, the results of which are now available.
