ANALYSING THE ROLES, ACTIVITIES AND SKILLS OF LEARNING TECHNOLOGISTS: A CASE STUDY FROM CITY UNIVERSITY LONDON

Olivia Fox and Neal Sumner
City University London
United Kingdom

This paper reports on a case study carried out at City University London into the role of Learning Technologists. This paper examines how the role developed, by providing points of comparison to a report on the career development of learning technology staff in UK universities in 2001. This case study identified that Learning Technologists undertook diverse roles and acquired the skills to work in different communities (professional, academic and research). It also found that while the core role and activities of Learning Technologists were similar to findings in 2001, the changing context in which they operated added complexity to the role and impacted on the skills and experience required.
