Vaughan Waller joins Learning Light
Learning Light (LL), a non-profit organisation, seeking to establish
itself as a Centre of Excellence in the use of learning technologies in
the workplace, has appointed Vaughan Waller as its Head of Membership
Services.
For several years, Waller has been running the Technologies for
Business and Learning (TBL) e-learning consultancy. For the last seven
years he has also been the elected chairman of the eLearning Network (eLN),
the UK's foremost professional assocaition for users and developers of
e-learning.
LL will be partnering with leading thinkers in the industry, as well as
with academics who are interested in this field, to create a unique and
constantly growing learning technologies knowledgebase.
Waller will be responsible for providing access by LL Members -
comprising both users and suppliers of e-learning - to this
knowledgebase in order to share information, knowledge, insight,
experience and expertise. This will be achieved through networking
events, conferences and seminars often using online community tools.
"Among the first priorities of the job will be to organise and promote
LL's 'offerings' to its potential members - following our extensive
research into what is both wanted and needed," explained Mark Pittaway,
CEO of LL.
"Vaughan Waller has built an enviable reputation within the e-learning
world as a knowledgeable and well connected consultant," Pittaway
continued. "He is nationally known - and respected, too - for his
invaluable work in promoting best practice within the industry through
the eLN and its regular conferences."
Waller commented: "As the use of technology to deliver learning cements
its place within 'mainstream' learning delivery, there is an increasing
need to introduce e-learning's users and potential users to best
practice. The objective is that LL will be seen as the authoritative
source of best practice information and, through its various
activities, as the organisation at the very centre of the e-learning
world both in the UK and internationally."
