A standardised approach is a good idea that institutionas are not willing to put the time, effort or political capital behind. We can all agree it should be done, but then who is empowered to follow up on the plans.

The obvious one would be that (in most circumstances) we are not IT support. Most learning technologists I have worked with develop knowledge and skills in learning, teaching and assessment that can make us valuable advisors, but it is rare for us to be able to help with broken printers.

The role will be focused on our move to Blackboard Ultra, supporting both staff and students with the effective use of the platform and helping staff get up and running in the new environment.

I am happy to have an informal chat about the role and our Ultra project with anyone who is interested.

Thank you for sharing, I had not heard of Active Digital Design. We are just starting our process to move to Ultra so I will be having a look at that to see if it can fit in with our plans.
