It became part the national Learning and Teaching Subject Network and was renamed the UKCLE in January 2000. It became part of the Higher Education Academy in 2004. It is based at the University of Warwick and has been led by two Warwick academics: Professor Roger Burridge (Director 2000-06) and Professor Julian Webb (Director 2006-).
