Distance Learning Academic Manager

Description

At Leicester we're going places. Ranked in the top 20 universities in Britain our aim is to climb further. 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 with a range of staff in the School of Museum Studies to grow and develop an existing suite of distance learning programmes. You will provide a central point of management across four programmes running an ongoing programme of production and updating through liaison with Academics and in direct response to student and Associate Tutor feedback. A key part of the role involves the development of innovative learning materials and experiences for distance learning students, with an emphasis on e-learning. You will manage a team of Associate Tutors, organise and run Summer and Winter Schools and work with the School to maintain the production of high quality learning materials and a high quality learning experience. You will work with internal and external stakeholders to develop and grow international markets and support the School in meeting its recruitment targets. Linked to this, you will work with the Deputy Head of School and School Manager to enhance the cost efficiency of the distance learning programmes.

Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to Suzanne MacLeod on sm100@le.ac.uk.

The closing date for this post is midnight on Friday 24 August 2012.
