Date

Digital Education Service

Following a successful year of transitioning from a project to a service, the Digital Education Service is hosting an event to celebrate their official launch on 4 January 2018.

The Digital Education Service developed its first online course on FutureLearn in 2013, and since then their courses have been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of learners worldwide.

Professor Neil Morris, Director of Digital Learning, says: “I am delighted to announce the launch of the Service. After only four years in existence, the team have supported hundreds of academic staff to create sector-leading online courses within our VLE and on FutureLearn, and provided enriching online learning opportunities. The Service can help Schools and Faculties to meet their strategic ambitions around international student recruitment, cohort mix and embedding digital education.”

The Digital Education Service now has a dedicated team of more than 40 professionals, experts in the fields of learning design, multimedia production, student education and marketing. Their expertise in pedagogical innovation and excellence in online learning has been demonstrated through a number of industry awards including the ALT Learning Technologist Team of the year award in 2015 and a PQ Magazine award in 2016.

The launch event will be held on 4 January, at 16:45 in Parkinson Court, as part of this year’s Student Education Conference and Digital Festival.
