Introducing technology in higher education raises |
|
questions about staff roles and the organisation of |
|
development practices. This article presents the findings |
|
from a case study that was undertaken to evaluate the |
|
effectiveness of introducing three centrally supported e- |
|
developers to work with academic teams to provide |
|
specialist support. The e-developer role is explained, |
|
and related to existing literature about learning |
|
technologists. The case illustrates how the e-developers |
|
worked collaboratively with academic staff and the |
|
perceptions of the academic staff, e-developers and |
|
educational technology leaders of the e-developer model |
|
used in a university in southwest London. The findings |
|
offer an opportunity to understand this kind of role, and |
|
the value of a model of staff development that does not |
|
involve taking academic staff out of the teaching area to |
|
become e-developers. The model supports "situative" |
|
professional development, which helps promote technology |
|
integration into teaching and suggests that e-developers |
|
provided cost-effective mentorship which participants |
|
believed would have a positive impact on student |
|
learning. |
