Ingrid Nix (joint Project leader)

I joined the OU in 2000 as a Lecturer in Learning and Teaching Technologies in the Faculty of Health & Social Care.

I was responsible for leading and supporting teams in making appropriate use of technologies to enhance learning and teaching. I also developed programme strategies and materials for ICT skills development. To inform my work I am very interested in evaluating the learner experience of what we design.

In 2018 I joined Middlesex University's Professional Aviation Pilot Practice programmes as Senior Lecturer, teaching Reflective Practice to student and work-based commercial pilots.

Kirsty Baker (Project team member)

I have worked at the Open University Library since 1998 mostly specialising in Information Literacy and, more recently, Digital Services Development and Accessibility.

I have been responsible for supporting OU students in the development of information literacy skills and have contributed to the provision of appropriate learning materials, whether they are embedded within OU module materials or stand alone.
