Role

As a Programme Manager I am responsible for projects funded under the JISC's e-Content programme (2009 - 2011). This strand of work deals with bringing digital resources together to increase their academic impact and importance, and helps institutions to develop and refine their strategies for the creation and delivery of digital resources.  Projects include the GrassPortal and the Centre for Digital Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

I am also the Programme Manager for the Enriching Digital Resources programme (2008-2009) and I have particular responsibility for programme support activities such as the organisation of relevant workshops and events for digitisation projects as well as leading on other programme-related initiatives including impact and the embedding of digital resources within teaching, learning and research.
