Many thanks from Brian and myself for attending our summer support meetings. We were delighted that you found our strategies for managing the new curriculum of great help. We have subsequently received many kind comments and have posted a few below.
We wish you all the best in your teaching over the next year.

EiSS and ECT trainers meeting. Arden Hotel Birmingham 2 October 2007

An introduction to QuickLink's software and hardware was provided to delegates from the EiSS hubs and to the ECT trainers.
Following this we are now delighted to become a partner with the EISS and discuss ways in which we can support their training of students and teachers.

The Design and Technology Association "Linking Learning" University of Wolvehampton July 2007

If you attended the Design and Technology Association Annual Conference in July you would have heard feedback from the Cara2 report into "Creativity in electronics teaching" by Torben Steeg and John Martin. QuickLInk Systems was pleased to be part of this and hear how Paul Anderson and his department at the Birkdale school was able to use the QuickLink123+ software and Fasttrack pcb to easily manage individual student projects:

….“QuickLink proved to be an excellent entry-level support to the teaching of electronics using system theory; it allowed the pupil's flexibility of choice to customise their own circuits”
.…“The use of a standard circuit board meant that pupils could achieve personalised outcomes, without the need to make twenty-odd individual PCBs. Both of these factors together mean that this is an easy option to manage for the Department,”
….”It was agreed by all the teachers involved that QuickLink was an effective and accessible way of supporting systems-based circuit design”.
