Role

I am director of digital leadership and transformation in tertiary education. My team and I support universities and colleges with digital leadership and transformation. This includes working with senior leaders to support their use of Jisc frameworks and maturity models to support their strategic aims. Other activities in my portfolio include researching international and transnational education (TNE) staff and students' digital experiences; supporting staff with curriculum and assessment design. In addition we support communities of practice including our senior leaders working group for digital transformation, our student experience experts group, working groups for assessment and feedback and international and TNE students’ digital experiences.

Background

I have worked for Jisc for over 20 years and during this time have led large national transformation programmes on curriculum design, staff and students digital capabilities and learners’ experiences of technology. I established Jisc's student experience experts group, an active community which provides valuable consultation and dissemination opportunities for Jisc. I continue to champion Jisc’s change agents’ network to support staff-student partnerships. I am a Certified Member of the Association of Learning Technology (CMALT).
