Daniel Scott was recently awarding Learning Technologist of the Year<\/a> by the ALT community. In his own words, Daniel talks about his professional activity. <\/span><\/p>\n

“In my current role at Barnsley College (rated as \u201cOutstanding\u201d by Ofsted) as the Learning Support Technologist for nearly 7 years.  In this position I research, develop, promote and evaluate a wide range of Learning Technology for creative use in learning and teaching in order to enhance the learner experience and enrich the curriculum. My main objective is to consistently look at new ways that learning and teaching can be improved with digital technology and solve any pedagogical problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

In July 2014, I started to line manage and develop the learning company Elephant Learning Designs, employing apprentices for the Level 3 and 4 Diploma in Digital Learning Design programmes.  We create appealing and interactive e-learning materials. I manage the recruitment, training and assessment of their work as well as promoting the company. I also lead the internal verification and quality assurance of these programmes”. <\/span><\/p>\n
