I think I presented at one of the first ELESIG events at Northampton on our work with videos. After a few years away due to changes in work and two small children I re-engaged with the community recently and co-lead the ELESIG Midlands group alongside Laura and Rob. Last year we ran a regional symposium at Warwick where colleagues came together to share experiences and research.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of being a member<\/h2>\n<p>For me, a key benefit of this group is networking and meeting colleagues from across the region and country \u2013 sharing ideas and experiences. Whilst a lot of my work is staff facing the student experience is at the core of what I do and I am keen to develop my expertise and understanding \u2013 ELESIG offers a great space to do just this. I am always really inspired and enthused after meeting with colleagues in this group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who are you?
