Knowledge, Learning, Community

David Hopkins asks the question and comes back with a number of different answers, everything from "concentrat(ing) on the structure of a learning experience, working with subject specialists to consider activities, sequencing, engagement and assessment" to "work(ing) more directly with platforms, implementation, staff development and support." I would imagine there are more roles than listed here. "They need to understand accessibility, inclusion, assessment, copyright, data protection and the policies or regulations within which their institution operates. They may need skills in communication, training, project management, evaluation, procurement and organisational change. They must also be able to work with people whose needs, confidence and priorities vary enormously."
