Our new service to the University student recruitment community launches soon in early March. But the step change is not coming from the technology. It’s from how the team functions, and there’s a lot here that they’re rightly proud of.
On February 4th, we hosted an open invitation online session to share our insights on flexible study, short courses and the ICL route to a postgraduate qualification. This was of particular relevance to colleagues in related fields, such as Short Courses, Executive Education, Continuing Professional Development, and the part-time intermittent route to a postgraduate award.

I recently ran an open invite usability review for our latest round of usability testing. Normally I run these sessions within our team, but we wanted to involve colleagues across the University in our work to improve the editorial experience. It was also an opportunity for school editors to see the new degree programme editorial […]

I’ve just spent a couple of days observing University College London (UCL)’s quarterly IT and digital planning process – Termly Increments or TIs.

I am proud to have been part of the organising committee for a very successful and well-attended event.

This includes the part-time intermittent (sometimes called ‘Invoiced at Course Level’) route to a postgraduate award and its overlap with other flexible study options. Join us to learn more […]
Last month, I attended a World Usability Day (WUD) event at User Vision, a UX and service design agency in Edinburgh. By sharing my experience I hope it helps others to decide if they want to attend an event in the future.
Join us on Wednesday 22nd January to watch school editors using the new degree programme editorial interface.
