Suzanne Galloway, Forth Valley College’s Learning Teaching and Quality Manager, has been named one of 15 education and research sector Community Champions by Jisc.
Community Champions are leading lights in the education and research sector. They dedicate their time by sharing knowledge and technical expertise to encourage collaboration and make a positive impact on colleagues and students across the sector.
Suzanne was nominated for her commitment to promoting digital teaching, learning and assessment on all fronts. In this she has developed communities of practice, introduced a range of new ways of thinking and approaching digital teaching and learning and supported colleagues across the college to use digital technologies in all parts of their working day, all with a smile and a passion for working with staff and students alike.
She said: “I’m really proud to have been named a Community Champion. It was a bit of a surprise to be awarded for something that I really enjoy and value and it’s great to hear that my colleagues value me too. A trip to Digifest in March will be inspiring and will allow me to explore a range of new technologies and approaches to teaching and learning that can only be of use to myself and my colleagues.”
The Jisc community champions programme celebrates passionate individuals who make a difference beyond their own institution, bringing people together to solve problems and share experience for the good of all. Each champion will enjoy a special trip to Jisc’s flagship conference, Digifest, (10-11 March) where they will be able to network and celebrate with other community champions.
Out of 43 nominees, the community champions were chosen by a panel of former champions and Jisc representatives chaired by Carolina Barnes, community specialist and Natasha Veenendaal, head of community and engagement at Jisc.
A full list of community champions, finalists and nominees is available on the Jisc website.
