Presentation for Shock of the Old 2009
Digital literacy: the role of new media in the HE curriculum. Thursday April 2nd 2009 Said Business School, University of Oxford
Introduction My name is Tony McNeill and I’m Principal Lecturer in Educational Technology at Kingston University, an institution of about 20,000 students located in a south-west suburb of London. I’m based in a central department, the Academic Development Centre, where I’m responsible for staff development opportunities in the area of educational technology. I also manage a small team of e-developers working on a range of central and faculty projects. I’ve given lots of conference papers, but I’ve never given a ‘position’ paper until now. I’m not wholly sure I understand what one is; I’m interpreting it as a chance to sound off and be opinionated about a particular obsession or hobby horse.
