Learning Technologists @ Leeds Network
The Learning Technologists @ Leeds network is a small group coordinated by SDDU to support colleagues with a common interest in developing or supporting learning technologies and platforms. Meeting approximately three times a year, the network provides an opportunity for staff to keep in touch with the work of colleagues in this field and to share and discuss new innovations and practices. The network offers an umbrella for technologists who may be working in a supporting role with a variety of job descriptions including:
- Learning technologist
- E-learning support officer / developer
- VLE support officer
- IT project officer
- Multimedia / web developer
This group has a mailing list. To subscribe go to http://lists.leeds.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/learning-tech
