10. It works both ways
• Helps your reputation
• Helps your department grow
• Helps your teams knowledge
• Helps your students
• Helps the intern

have grown up with technology and had experiences with VLE’s. That means
they’ll probably understand it’s uses more than someone who first saw it as
part of their job.” - Robert Hutton
