As part of the Teaching and Learning Directorate’s ‘Talking about Teaching’ seminar series Lawrie Phipps will be giving a seminar, titled ‘From Post 92 to Post Digital‘ on 12th February 2010
This session will draw up on the journey that universities have made from the early days of technology in learning through to what appear to be ubiquitous VLEs and on to post digital universities, where technology is both invisible and essential. The session will also argue that, as part of this journey, institutions must re-evaluate the meanings of knowing and of understanding and adapt their working to accommodate the new demands placed on individuals and organisations by the digital era.

Lawrie Phipps works for JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) with a portfolio for Institutional Innovation and Building Institutional Capacity. He has worked in various organisations including JISC, the Learning and Teaching Support Network (HEA) and was responsible for setting up the award winning TechDis service, which supports institutions in supporting students with disabilities. Lawrie is currently the Co-Chair of SEDA, the Staff and Educational Development Association.
