Welcome to CADI - Supporting you to Teach Well, Consistently Well
The Centre for Academic and Digital Innovation (CADI) is the University of Portsmouth’s centralised hub for learning and teaching excellence.

CADI operates under the leadership of Professor Anne Murphy, Professor Ale Armellini, Dr Andy Clegg and Mr Mike Wilson.
