Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education

The Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ILT) was a UK organisation set up as "the professional body for higher education staff involved in teaching and the support of learning".[1] It was founded in 2000 as a result of the reports of the National Committee of Inquiry into Higher Education (the "Dearing Report").[2]

The ILT was located on York Science Park. The founding Chief Executive was Dr Paul Clark.[3]

Its stated aims[3] were to:

  • accredit programmes of learning in higher education,
  • commission research and development in learning and teaching practices,
  • stimulate innovation.

In May 2004 the ILT merged with the Learning and Teaching Support Network (LTSN), and the TQEF National Co-ordination Team (NCT) to form the Higher Education Academy.[4]
