Well as from last week I finished my 6 year post at the University of Derby, I started there as a temporary developer and managed to work my way up to a senior position.
Yesterday I began my new role at Harper Adams University College as a Instructional Design Leader, where I got to meet the new team I would be working with. There's a broad range of skills and the developers were whittled down from 80 applicants down to 5. So these guys are the best of the best.
Theres a lot of exitement kicking about the project, with the fact that we can try new things and push a few boundaries. Not only that but we all get brand new laptops complete with BioMetrics! Cool, always wanted to have a play about with that. So as always we got them to start with a SWOT analysis, always good to find out about each others strengths and weaknesses. I think one of the ways to bring equalness and partnership to the team is to have everyone a owner of a service. So that they feel they have a responsiblity for something.
Not only that but having met the e-learning team that already exists, it sounds like they are pushinng a few boundaries themselves with respect to the services they offer.
Since there is no e-assessment at the college one of the points of the project is to bring CAA to Harper and for that we are going to have a look at a range of options.
Definatly looking forward to the challenges that the project will bring.
