We are joined on the podcast by the following brilliant people:
Phil Moffitt
Philip Moffitt specialises in the research of technology enhanced learning for engineers, facilities managers, and technicians in critical national infrastructure. He is a chartered engineer, facilities manager, and user experience ergonomist, working as a senior lecturer at the Royal School of Military Engineering in Chatham, Kent, UK. Philip’s research interests lie in qualitative enquiry and collaborative change to technology enhanced learning, enabling people to collectively face contingent and unforeseen challenges for work and learning. He is currently researching the mediating role of technologies for social development, organisational change, and vocational practice in post-conflict reconstruction and disaster relief, where the requirement and opportunity for technology enhanced learning is often only identified at the time and place of need, by dispersed teams in geographically distal settings. Philip lives in Kent, with his partner Eleanor, and their miniature Schnauzers. He undertakes voluntary activities as a coach and mentor with those who are disengaged from education, and is an alumnus of the doctoral programme in e-research and technology enhanced learning, with Lancaster University’s Department of Educational Research.
James Rutherford
James is a learning spaces specialist who has been working in the design and development of new learning environments in higher education since 2009. He also has over 30 years of managerial and technical experience in technical support for learning and teaching.
He has a Masters in Advanced Educational Practice from UCL Institute of Education, where he researched the impact of physical space design on learning and teaching, and is a Fellow of Advance HE [The Higher Education Academy]
James works at City, University of London, as a Senior Educational Technologist and project lead for learning space development and media production. He has been a learning space consultant with universities, architects and furniture manufacturers, as well as working in managerial and technical roles in learning environment development for the University of Birmingham and University of the Arts London.

Paul Shore
Paul is the Associate Dean for flexible and digital learning in the Faculty of Biology Medicine and Health at the University of Manchester, UK. He’s a molecular biologist whose research is focused on gene regulation in cancer. His teaching roles including the academic lead for Problem-Based Learning in Medicine and the programme lead for the Cancer Genomics MSc. He has extensive teaching experience from undergraduate to PhD, and has been at Manchester for 23 years. Paul has also taught online for many years for the Open University. He’s always had a keen interest in the use of technology as a tool to facilitate active learning both on and off campus. He introduced blended training programmes for postgraduates in Manchester some fifteen years ago and has continued to champion the use of technology to improve learning at all levels. He has an MA in online and distance education (MA ODE), is a senior fellow of the higher education academy (SFHEA) and a fellow of the Royal Society of Biology.
