Digital & e-Learning Developer, AgriFood Training Partnership

Mar 2012 – Aug 2019

I worked for the University of Nottingham on a variety of different initiatives, but most notably on the BBSRC funded AgriFood Training Partnership (AFTP) project, a consortium of six leading UK based universities offering high-level online training courses, underpinned by cutting-edge scientific research, for people employed within the agrifood sector in the UK and overseas.

My role primarily involved supporting academic staff from all six AFTP delivery partner institutions to produce online distance and blended learning courses and assessment materials. My other day-to-day responsibilities included maintaining the AFTP website (Drupal 7 CMS) and associated CRM system (Civi), in addition to producing print and digital marketing collateral.

Working as part of a creative media development team on the HEFCE funded University Modernisation Fund (UMF) project, I delivered interactive online course enhancement throughout the institution working alongside academic staff to design and produce e-Learning materials for undergraduate students. These materials included websites, digital tutorials, animations, instructional videos and podcasts which were used internally as part of a blended learning teaching strategy and released externally as OER (Open Educational Resources).
