Technology Enhanced Learning Officer
I worked as Technology-Enhanced-Learning Officer for the School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham, supporting use of technology in teaching, learning, assessment and support.
Previously I worked at Nottingham in 2002 and 2003 on the Mathematics Electronic Learning Environment in Engineering and Science (MELEES) Project.
MELEES is a project that I helped start when working as a full time Project Support Officer at the University of Nottingham for four months in 2002.
MELEES is a teaching support system for non-Maths students taking modules from the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Nottingham. It uses WebCT to deliver that support.
I spent a further 3 months in the summer of 2003 working on the MELEES project as a full time Project Support Officer. My responibilities included the development of 'Diagnostic Tests', a framework for which I wrote in PHP, and the incorporation of existing external Maths support materials into MELEES.
In 2004, MELEES was nominated for a Lord Dearing Award for Teaching and Learning.
