Colin Loughlin
University of Surrey, UK
I am the Learning Technology Manager at the University of Surrey. I have a background in computing and moved into higher education in 2006, with a digital content development role at the Open University. There I developed an interest in instructional design and educational theory. At Surrey, I am responsible for the development of the digital platforms, tools and processes, required to produce engaging and effective online experiences. I recently coordinated a partnership agreement with FutureLearn and the preparation of the University's first two MOOCs, which will launch in January 2020. I am currently a PhD student with Lund University and my research relates to the role of ‘the lecture’ in contemporary higher education.
