Job role

Technology Enhanced Learning Advisor

Organisation

York St John University

About me:

My focus is to strategically develop the use of the institutional e-Portfolio system (Mahara) by engaging and communicating with key stakeholders, offering advice, consultancy and support. Working to the Learning & Teaching Development annual objectives and the TEL Quality Framework, I pro-actively support and develop staff in their use of e-Portfolio technology to enhance the student learning experience.

I work as a part-time Adult Education Tutor for City of York Council Adult and Community Education Service, and am a Member of the Institute for Learning (MIfL).

I'm also studying for an MSc in 'Technology Enhanced Learning, Innovation and Change' at Sheffield Hallam University.

As a learning & development professional my primary focus is delivering e-learning training to staff using a blended approach to training delivery, including face-to-face classroom training, one-to-one e-coaching, self-help material, screencasting, e-learning, social media, and live online delivery (webinars).

I have experience in delivering training on Learning Technologies, Virtual Learning Environments, Screencasting, Online Delivery Tools, Content Management Systems, e-Portfolios, Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Office, HTML & CSS, and ECDL amongst other things.
