The learning resources unit

Abstract

In 1967 two research and development units were established in the Department of Psychology at the University of Sheffield. The first was the Programmed Instruction Centre for Industry (PICI) supported by an award of £10,000 per annum from the Department of Employment, and grants from all the industrial training boards which, in total, generated a similar amount. The Programmed Instruction Centre for the National Health Service (PICNHS), housed with the PICI, was originally funded by the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board, the United Sheffield Hospitals and the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust. In April 1972 the Department of Health and Social Security assumed the support of the Centre and awarded a grant for three years.
