What are my current challenges?

  • Evolving beyond ‘one size fits all’ solutions towards customised, setting-specific infrastructure whilst ensuring seamless integration and cross-site functionality
     
  • Utilising newly-acquired devices and building a long-term strategy for the investment and deployment of devices for all teachers and students to optimise teaching and learning
     
  • Managing an institution’s key commercial stakeholders during a time of disruption
     
  • Working with restricted budgets and resources
     
  • Managing potential risks around data protection, cybersecurity, GDPR and privacy
     
  • Providing a good student experience in terms of academic quality, standards and resources

  • By connecting me with the right solutions providers on integrating new solutions/plug-ins into the existing wider infrastructure

  • By keeping me up to date on the latest thinking on pedagogy, EdTech and education policy nationally and internationally
     
  • By giving me a chance to review new products and features from suppliers, assessing their suitability for my institution’s EdTech provision within the constraints of existing budgets
