History
The centre was originally created as part of the Learning and Teaching Support Network (LTSN), founded in Jan. 2000. The Higher Education Academy was founded in May 2004, from a merger of the Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ILTHE), the LTSN, and the TQEF National Co-ordination Team (NCT). As a part of the Higher Education Academy, the subject centre is funded by grants from four higher education funding bodies in the UK (Higher Education Funding Council for England, Scottish Funding Council, Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, and Department for Employment and Learning), subscriptions from higher education institutions, and grant/contract income for organised initiatives.
