Amber has worked in ICT in education for 13 years, working on JISC Information Strategies Initiative, Becta's National Grid for Learning, Becta's Ferl service, JISC-funded West Midlands Share Project at the University of Worcester, and most recently as a Programme Manager in the Digital Infrastructure team within JISC Innovation. This role is about understanding current practice, identifying good practice, recognising constraints and risks, and designing and delivering interventions that will improve outcomes for UK Universities. For the last few years she has overseen the Jorum national repository www.jorum.ac.uk. She holds the brief within JISC for digital infrastructure for learning materials and was the programme manager leading the OER Rapid Innovation projects designed to meet key use cases around open educational content.<\/p>\n
