Managing and implementing educational-technological change: a case for co-development

I am the head of Digital Learning in the Academy for Learning and Teaching Excellence at the University of Bedfordshire. My team manage and support the university’s virtual learning environment - BREO (Bedfordshire Resources for Education Online) - and the systems associated with it which include Blackboard (the overall learning management system), Studiosity (a writing feedback service), Turnitin (similarity detection service) and Panopto (a video platform for recording content). My research interests include the narrative experiences of technology usage, examining students’ behaviours through data, linking narrative and data about students’ activities, and making sense of metrics.
