Future plans
I would like to develop my skills in my current role, but to also take on additional responsibilities such as greater involvement in technical staff management. Our Online MA in English Language Teaching is experiencing significant growth through a collaboration with the British Council - we have previously only run cohorts of around 25-30, but this collaboration is expected to bring cohorts of over 100 students per year. As a result, further administrative and technical support will be required to maintain the consistently high levels of student satisfaction. I hope to be put in charge of managing this and would relish the challenge.
I want to continue to update resources as new technologies are introduced, and to improve the accessibility of all of our outputs and resources. I want to ensure a consistently good experience for both on- and off-campus students, regardless of their levels of connectivity and their own computing platforms. As part of this, I want to continue my professional development by keeping an eye on new tools, technologies and resources as they become available and widespread.
I want to take advantage of any suitable training opportunities that arise, and I can see myself in a more responsible and managerial version of my current role in the future. I also wish to continue contributing to the development of new tools and systems to ensure that our courses run smoothly and to enhance the student online learning experience.
