I instigated and created an online induction. This involved consultation across the organisation. The module won a ‘Q’ award from the Learning and Skills Council.

My role as Learning Resources ILT Officer / IT Champion involved planning, designing and implementing training for staff. I customised the FERL ILT Practitioners Programme. I planned activities for staff training days, co-ordinating these with the other IT champions and Advanced Practitioners. My role in the Learning Resources department allowed me to play an active role in the development of College ILT and E-learning strategy

The first-line support for myBU, the Blackboard Virtual Learning environment. This required a thorough knowledge of E-learning issues, and continual communication with academic staff and external companies. The role also involved developing training materials for academic staff in order that they could use new learning technologies and sector developments, including lecture capture, and Web 2.0 technologies. The role gave me insights into university structure, how a central e-learning service relates to the various client schools, department and course teams.

I designed and managed the Learning Resources department web presence. I leased with other ILT champions, teaching heads, and the E-learning manager to plan ways of filtering knowledge of E-resources to teaching staff. This also entailed planning and presenting courses.
