George Roberts

I am a Senior Lecturer at Oxford Brookes in Educational Development

I have been at Oxford Brookes since 2000 and joined OCSLD in June 2006 as an Educational Developer (e-Learning). In my previous role I advised the Head of e-Learning and the Senior Management Team of the University on policy for off-campus e-learning and e-learning partnerships.

I undertake research into the pedagogical, social and technical dimensions of e-learning nationally and internationally and am interested in the interactions between personal identity and the values and beliefs that are embedded in the artefacts of Learning Technology. I teach on the Open University MA course, “Language and Literacy in a Changing World” and was the Project Manager for a series of JISC Distributed e-Learning Tools Projects, developing and implementing the Open Source Portfolio in 14 sites in Southern England. Before Brookes I worked in Adult Community Learning projects and as an instructional designer for the energy industry.

I do other stuff too.

Oh, yes. I am Emerge Project Director.
