Professional
''I am a Research Associate with the [Institute of Learning Innovation] at the University of Leicester. In 2012 I was a SCORE fellow, working in collaboration with the Open University (UK), carrying out research into the meaning of the OERu for Higher Education Institutions in the UK. The project was called TOUCANS (Testing the OER University Concept and Aspirations: a National Study). I am currently involved in a European project - [POERUP], which is focused on identifying and disseminating information about OER policies around the world, and includes carrying out a case study on the OERu as a community of practice. I am also part-time distance learning manager for the University of Bradford School of Management.
