Michel Jansen
Project Manager, SURFnet, The Netherlands
After graduating from the University of Delft I started working at the Hague University. Since then I have been working as a teacher, coach and consultant at various universities and in industry. In recent years I have been a project manager at SURF. SURF is the Dutch cooperation organization for ICT in Dutch education and research. At SURF we innovate education with ICT and benefit from the knowledge, experiences and services that SURF builds up together with educational institutions.
In my work I mainly focus on Blended learning and OER. Learning spaces is the subject I have been working on for the last 2 years. We started a National community, organized peer visits and study trips.

Duncan Peberdy
Senior Lead – Digital Learning Spaces, JISC, UK
I’ve worked with global organisations developing collaborative solutions for learning that can be used in-room or to connect anytime anywhere participants. Technology deployments, especially those that disrupt, are about changing organisational culture and managing digital transformations to deliver an ROI.
Pearson commissioned me to write 2 business books on meetings, and I’ve self-published 2 books on the use of technology for small group active collaborative learning, both with insightful chapters from experts in their academic fields.
In 2015 I innovated the Sticky Campus Roadshow, a pop-up digitally-enabled active learning classroom that universities and colleges host on campus for 4 weeks. The roadshow helps generate better-informed decisions around student-centric campus developments, identifying all the 'must-have' services that enable success.
Outside of the UK, the roadshow has also helped influence learning space developments in France, Ireland and The Netherlands.
