I was about to email this around some contacts, who are just catching up with my news , but it's not really the open way to do things so I am posting it here too - minus my home address.
Dear all,
I have moved on from the College Development Network and I
am looking for full or part-time assignments that can use my skills, experience and
networks across Scottish Education, UK and into international vocational
education.
For those in the system. If you have staff who need their eyes opened
to the possibilities of new delivery models in a constructive way – I have the
skills and contacts to build their confidence to inspire them to take delivery and learner engagement to a new place.
For those in and around the system; if you have a project
that needs a business case, a product or solution that will support learning or
educational institutions in an innovative way, you are searching for the right
route to market or you are simply looking for the right partner in the Scottish
Education sector then I hope to be able to help.
My personal interests will still focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, digital literacy
with a focus on educators, developing open practitioners , shared services, open
education, digital communities of practice, collaborative education and the co-creation
of curricula, new forms of assessment – particularly e-portfolios and their
role in quality assurance, open badges and new ways of credentialing learning, all things 16+ learning formal and informal and much more.
I have a deep understanding of the policy landscape around Colleges and across the vocational learning landscape across the UK.
In the month ahead I am supporting a webinar from the Heart
of Worcester College on a new model of collaborative content creation and
supporting the organisation of https://oer16.oerconf.org/
#oer16 at Edinburgh University.
If you have a moment, I would welcome a recommendation
around the work we have done in the past on my LinkedIn Profile.
I look forward to working with you in the future and meeting
you on the journey to make education a relevant and a better place for all.
Kind Regards
Joe
