I am Head of OpenLearn at the Open University where I have spent the last 17 years of my career. I have moved through various roles in HE,with an emphasis on e-learning, outreach, and researching and commissioning impactful free learning. My research interests at present are around understanding informal learners, the impact and implications and digital badging for HE and how this translates to good open educational practice for the University, for which I have won several awards. My academic publications are found in the University's open research database http://oro.open.ac.uk/view/person/pjl264.html.
