A commitment to high quality fused with an inclusive academic culture is our hallmark and led the Times Higher Education to describe us as elite without being elitist. You will work on an EU-funded EMMA project, which is creating a MOOC aggregator platform, which will be used to deliver a series of MOOCs. You will work with others in the Institute of Learning Innovation, you will coordinate the Leicester activities for the project, including ensuring that MOOC developers are on track in terms of uploading content, leading on the evaluation of the MOOCs, participation in project meetings and dissemination activities, and writing project reports and deliverables.

The University There s never been a more exciting time to join us. At the University of Leicester we are enjoying research success on a world stage and gathering the awards and plaudits to match. A judge in a recent awards ceremony described Leicester as elite without being elitist. We are proud to be elite. But we are at least as proud to be an inclusive and progressive university. This commitment to high quality, an inclusive academic culture and belief in the synergy of teaching and research are our hallmarks. We believe that teaching is inspirational when delivered by passionate scholars engaged in world-changing research that is delivered in an academic community that includes postgraduate as well as undergraduate students. Our approach to research yields great rewards. Our research impact, measured by citations per academic, is the sixth highest in the UK. Our success in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise saw Quality Related research income rise by 18% placing us firmly amongst Britain s top 20 research universities by this measure. The RAE also revealed that Leicester is home to Britain s top-rated

2 research department Museum Studies which has the highest concentration of world class research of any department of any discipline in the UK. For a University that believes teaching and research are synergistic, it is pleasing that the National Student Survey reveals the quality of our teaching is amongst the highest in the country. Since the launch of the survey in 2006, Leicester has consistently featured amongst the top-10 universities in England for student satisfaction. The Sunday Times recently described Leicester as "top... amongst mainstream multi-faculty universities for student satisfaction". Currently a University of 23,000 students, with a turnover of 230m and 3,800 colleagues, our future is bright. Our Strategic Vision describes our plans to invest a billion pounds in our estate as we transform our campus. Already ranked in the top-12 universities in Britain, by 2015 we aim to rise further to become top-10. Leicester is the most inclusive of Britain s top-20 universities with the greatest proportions of students from under-represented groups. As a group of talented individuals we are more diverse than ever and stronger for it. At Leicester we are proud of our distinct approach, our achievements and our ambitious plans. If you share our approach join us. College of Social Science This is a great time to be part of the College of Social Sciences at the University of Leicester. The College is committed to pursuing excellence in teaching and learning, research and enterprise and the administration of our activities. We share the University s ambition to become one of the top 150 universities in the world and we seek to align our activities with the pursuit of that ambition. The College s nine departments cover a wide range of social science disciplines as well as supporting interdisciplinary work. We are home to nearly 11,000 students and 350 staff. We are in a financially healthy position, owing to a diverse range of income sources. Our teaching is successful and growing, with substantial growth in our student population since 2004/5. A high demand for student places is underpinned by innovative offerings particularly at postgraduate level and through distance learning. We are passionate about both teaching and research and committed to providing our students with a research-led teaching environment where academic excellence is combined with a friendly student-centred learning experience. We are proud of our consistently high scores in the National Student Survey. We undertake world-class research in a range of disciplines, including from interdisciplinary perspectives. Our policy related and applied work links our academics to governments, third sector and commercial organisations in the UK, Europe and across the world. There were strong performances in the RAE2008 from a number of departments and we are now building on that upward trajectory by investing in staff and PhD studentships and by supporting individual researchers with a range of initiatives to help them grow and develop their research. The Institute of Learning Innovation The Institute of Learning Innovation brings together teachers and researchers interested in the field of innovation in teaching and learning. Builds capacity for research and development into information, communication and learning technologies. University of Leicester 2 27 May 2014

3 Identifies excellent and appropriate ways forward to underpin e-learning strategy and policy for the 21st century, and provide a way of taking research into teaching through modes of learning. Provides a focused way of networking and collaborating nationally and internationally in the field, providing a focus and an interesting place to attract external visitors and collaborators. Deflects the technology- or VLE- driven narrative in the universities in the area of e-learning and instead addresses e-learning as a business and pedagogical development opportunity associated with positive change. Promotes the possibilities of research into teaching across all departments and subjects. Engages academic staff in research projects to introduce learning technologies and new pedagogies into their own teaching. Provides a well-informed forum for discussion of e-learning strategy and choices. Provides a forum and a focus for publications in the e-learning, distance-learning and pedagogical fields. Provides a forum and good support for preparing income-generating bids and resources. And provides an arena for demonstration and discussion of new internal and external developments. The Institute provides: Recognition of efforts already underway and opportunities for innovators to feel recognised and find a voice and identity. Synergies between individuals and small groups for the purpose of sharing good practice, collaboration and support. For the potential for research and associated publications through a research strategy in the field. Opportunities for identification, experimentation and exploration of ideas leading to further innovation and longer-term projects. And provides a suitable environment to attract research students interested in this domain. Bidding for research funds is enhanced because: Many funding bodies value interdisciplinary and collaborative projects. There is a strong need at this point in time to go beyond 'what works' and into well-conceptual models. There is a lot of competition for e-learning and learning technologies funding. The Institute brings skills together and therefore increases success. The broad areas addressed by the Institute include: Development and testing of concepts, models and theories. Rigorous research methodologies, appropriate for exploiting 'e' for research. Identification, promotion and support of good practice in an accessible knowledge base for learning and teaching online. Strategy and policy development. The role, training, development and competencies of online teachers (e-moderators). Scenarios for the future of teaching and learning with new technologies. Models of change associated with introduction of new pedagogies and technologies, especially low input, high value processes, designing for participation, and intervening for learning. Sustainability and multipliers beyond projects. University of Leicester 3 27 May 2014
