What does ’embedding’ mean?

One of the “hot topics” at the HEA Pathfinder workshop in York that I attended with the University of Leicester’s Adelie project was the definition of “embedding” – which was important to the description of what the Pathfinder pilots were asked to do.

How can an institution measure embedding? What does it mean – is it the provision of technology or something much more radical relating to attitudes and blends of learning opportunities?

For me: it is about embedding skills relating to learning technologies into lecturers’ (and other staff’s) everyday practice of designing, delivering and facilitating learning opportunities.
