8) Positions: Various
Institution: THE OPEN UNIVERSITY (UK)
****New Technology Initiative**** - "INSTILL"
CREATING 33 NEW ACADEMIC POSTS ACROSS THE UNIVERSITY
The UK's Open University is rising to the challenge of technological
change in many ways. Our mission statement declares that we will
maintain an openness as to methods, and will harness evolving
technologies to enhance the quality of our teaching.
Our strategic aims include a commitment to operate at the forefront
of educational and technological developments.
The University has approved a new programme of development
to be known as INSTILL -
"Integrating New Systems and Technologies Into Lifelong Learning".
Six of the key areas for investment in this programme are:
An Institute for R&D in Knowledge Media
A New Technology recruitment initiative
A satellite broadcasting project
Technological innovation in course materials eg CD-ROM
Harnessing the Internet for academic purposes
A laboratory to show-case OU technologies.
As part of the New Technology Recruitment Initiative we plan
to appoint an additional 33 (thirty-three) staff
who can combine a high level of academic potential
with demonstrated competence in the application
of new technology to learning.
Most appointments will be made to academic Faculties, Schools and
Institutes, but a number will be to academic service units
or to the Knowledge Media Institute.
THE KNOWLEDGE MEDIA INSTITUTE -
Three major research teams at the Open University, working with
Professor Marc Eisenstadt, Dr. Tom Vincent MBE,
and Dr. Paul Bacsich, have recently joined forces to create
the Knowledge Media Institute.
Our interests include knowledge systems, multimedia,
advanced telematics, virtual classrooms, customisable authoring tools,
virtual science laboratories, and 'training on demand'.
The technology itself is of secondary interest:
we want to gain insights into what it means to share knowledge;
how knowledge can be captured and conveyed;
how to exploit new technologies to satisfy the ever-increasing
appetite for communication bandwidth;
how to meet the needs of mobile students;
what radical new methods are needed to assist disabled students;
how to work in groups with students scattered around the globe;
how to harness software in the service of human understanding.
Our research agenda is large and exciting.
We want to foster life-long learning, but to do that we need
to evolve new media, harness them appropriately,
and ensure that they are firmly rooted
in a rich representation of knowledge.
