A strategic leader in e-learning, learning technology, learning media, and classroom technology & design, my speciality area is supporting universities to evolve their learning & teaching design to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving digital landscape. This includes curriculum development, virtual and physical classroom spaces, and organisational capability across a range of services. In recent years he has developed, supported, and deployed learning analytics systems – enabling universities to identify issues with student engagement and address them early in order to improve retention and the student experience. He has over 30 years experience working in these areas, most of the time in universities across the U.K. including:
- The University of Glasgow
- Aberystwyth University
- University of Reading
- Northampton University
During this time I have been involved in a number of sector projects and activities, often as the institutional lead, working with QAA Scotland, the Higher Education Academy, Jisc, and Futurelearn.
I engage across the sector and have held active membership of several organisations including:
- HeLF (Heads of eLearning)
- SCHOMS (Heads of Media Services)
- LTSMG (Lecture Theatre Managers)
- ALT (Association for Learning Technology)
I left the University of Glasgow in April 2017 to return to Wales and set up my company “Kerr Gardiner Consulting Ltd” to allow me to concentrate on using my experience and knowledge to help develop digital capabilities across education.
