The Centre for Research into Interactive Learning was created in 1992 within Strathclyde University's Department of Psychology to conduct research into Interactive Learning in all of these senses, and to apply its findings to educational practice and occupational training. The Centre is located in its own premises with staff offices, research accommodation, videocoding suite, conference room, computing facilities and secretarial support.

The primary objective of the Centre is to specify the conditions which optimise Interactive Learning and to promote instructional materials which embody the principles so defined.

Objectives: CRAG brings together social scientific expertise to conduct policy relevant research on gender and ageing. The principal aim is to advance understanding of how gender influences the experience of ageing, and how ageing influences gender roles and relationships. This is achieved by:

• Undertaking research on gender an ageing. Crag members have expertise in a range of research methodologies, including qualitative research, evaluation research, and secondary analysis of large national data sets
