[P9] Ultraversity Project
-
Ultraversity was the degree course for those who university did not fit. The design allowed students to focus on their own work, negotiate learning, submit work created as part of their job in the form of assessment 'patches' using the genre and media which suited them, stitch a patchwork of such pieces to make a final submission, celebrate their dissertation through an exhibition and all supported by an online community of inquiry. The design also included the new university infrastructure needed to market, recruit, admit, deliver and manage the course.

Belfast summer school
-
I led this digital creativity project with Ultralab colleagues and youth workers in Belfast. We invited young people from three community groups of mixed background to enjoy three days of film-making following our established summer school methodology. The three community groups' youth workers knew each other, but the young people had not worked together before.

COGS Passport

A project with Unity City Academy in Middlesborough and Edunova to develop a tool for primary-age children to self-evaluate their learning skills in preparation for transition to secondary. The outcomes would be available to new teachers to better know their new students and to managers to more clearly see what curriculum was required based on needs.
