Central teams, Faculty Education Teams and Faculty Learning Technology Leads will work with departmental Covid-19 Mitigation Coordinators (CMCs), Connected Learning Leads and E-Learning Champions.

Note: If any contacts need updating, please email the details to teaching.learning@ucl.ac.uk
Faculty and departmental support arrangements have been established to support education teams in moving us beyond the largely successful emergency response to the Covid-19 pandemic, through Connected Learning approach of the 2020-21 academic year and beyond.

Faculty Education Teams (including Vice Deans Education) are supported by Faculty Learning Technology Leads, Arena Fellows, Digital Education Advisors and Library colleagues to develop practical guidance, training, templates and examples. Central teams will also make a comprehensive staff development and support programme available over the Summer.
New departmental support structures will underpin the Faculty Education Teams, Faculty Learning Technology Leads and central support services to efficiently cascade this training and guidance to all colleagues. Each department has at least one named Covid-19 Mitigation Coordinator, Connected Learning Lead and E-Learning Champion who, alongside the Department's Head of Education, will act as a Departmental Connected Learning Team.
These Connected Learning Teams will, in turn, be supported by the central and faculty-based roles to ensure their colleagues feel able and confident to provide an excellent remote or socially distanced educational experience for our students.
Descriptions and named contacts for each of these roles are provided below.
Faculty Education Teams
Faculty Education Teams have been established to work in collaboration with central teams to ensure that UCL can continue to function smoothly for the duration of Covid-19, and emerge from it stronger and more resilient.
Led by the Dean, and with a nominated Convenor, each Faculty Education Team comprises a small number of senior staff with some departmental representation.
Covid-19 Mitigation Coordinators (CMCs)
As the coronavirus outbreak escalated, every department nominated at least two Covid-19 Mitigation Coordinators (CMCs) - one academic and one professional services represenative - to input into and disseminate resources, guidance and policy updates emerging from various education mitigation groups established to ensure teaching and assessment continuity.
The CMCs are named contacts to help you plan and deliver teaching and assessment during the coronavirus outbreak. CMCs receive a fortnightly bulletin from the Vice Provost's Education & Student Experience Team summarising any key policy decisions, new staff guidance or student communications that have have been released or planned for that week. Faculty Tutors and Vice Deans (Education) also receive these bulletins. The CMCs, working with Faculty Tutors, are responsible for determining the best approach and channels for disseminating that information to their colleagues and students, as this varies across the university.
Faculty Learning Technology Leads
Faculty Learning Technology Leads are experienced learning technologists who will:
- Support the network of departmental connected learning leads and e-learning champions within the faculty and coordinating/supporting their staff development to enable them to support departmental colleagues.
- Run training and development for faculty staff in partnership with Digital Education and Arena.
- Oversee development and implementation of local variants of Moodle templates
- Advise staff on teaching and learning-focused online communication, facilitation and student support.
- Train students assistants to create online content.
- Identify issues and challenges faced by departmental teams and feeding them back to Digital Education and Arena as needed.
Your Faculty Learning Technology Lead is named under your faculty. You can also view the full list of Faculty Learning Technology Leads.
Departmental Connected Learning Leads
Departmental Connected Learning Leads are experienced lecturers or teaching fellows who are appointed to work across programmes and modules to:
- Support departmental colleagues and create opportunities for colleagues to network and support one another.
- Tailor advice and templates for local contexts.
- Provide some hands-on input where needed.
- Escalate to Digital Education and Arena where necessary.
- Facilitate staff development, with support from Digital Education and Arena.
- Oversee a common approach to student induction, bonding activities and student support.
- Supervise PGTAs and students who may have been engaged to work on course development.
The departmental Connected Learning lead will be supported by:
- the department’s two E-learning Champions;
- the department’s two Covid-19 Mitigation Coordinators;
- their Faculty's Connected Learning coordinator and Faculty Education Team;
- Digital Education and Arena faculty-facing staff.
E-Learning Champions
Most departments have one academic, one professional services e-learning champion, whose informal role is to champion the use of technology in education, and to ensure that central teams are aware of local issues and initiatives. This is a long-standing network which will now work with and support the Connected Learning Lead role by:
- acting as a point of contact with Digital Education Advisor;
- facilitating local Champion and digital education groups;
- providing updates of local initiatives and concerns;
- participating in departmental T&L committees as appropriate; and
- contributing to the monthly E-Learning Newsletter, case studies etc.
See the list of current E-Learning Champions.
Digital Assessment Advisors
As of September 2021, we have formed a new Digital Assessment team as part of the Digital Education department within the Information Services Division. Headed up by Anisa Patel as the Head of Digital Assessment, the team is made up of five Digital Assessment Advisors and one Learning Technologist. These roles will work with their nominated faculties to drive adoption of digital assessment at UCL.
The Digital Assessment Advisors role within the faculties will be to encourage the adoption of digital assessment at UCL including the use of our new assessment platform, AssessmentUCL. They will work with faculties to build an understanding of the needs of different departments and programmes, identify solutions, and channel any feedback back to the central digital assessment product team. They will also provide training and support to academic and administrative colleagues, facilitate sharing of practice, and champion the capabilities of AssessmentUCL to drive forward adoption and engagement.
