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.

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”.
