New Head of Research Services for 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 Steve Hill to be its new Head of Research
Services.
Steven Hill has joined Learning Light as its Head of Research Services,
with responsibility for overseeing all of Learning Light's research
activities and coordinating its research partnerships.
For over 16 years, Steven has been working in the field of modernised
learning using technologies. He started building some of the first
virtual learning environments linked to hospital Information Systems
before joining PricewaterhouseCoopers as a Senior Training Manager and
an e-learning specialist, and then moving to PA Consulting as a senior
consultant in learning and development across the private and public
sectors.
His experience over the years has brought him into contact with many
organisations and content suppliers working on the major challenges to
getting the best out of learning technologies in the workplace and
education. Steven is also a Master Trainer and runs his own personal
coaching business.
Steven said: "I'm delighted to be joining Learning Light and to be part
of the important role it plays in bringing buyers, suppliers, academia
and researchers closer together in this exciting industry.
"The growing maturity of technologies, the integration of tools that
support people management, performance and learning, and continual
organisational change, place great importance on the availability of
relevant research, market data, best practice and trends - right across
the learning technologies supply chain. I am looking forward to
evolving Learning Light's Research Services in response to the needs of
its members and partners."
Mark Pittaway, CEO of Learning Light, commented: "Steven's solid
experience in consulting at a high level will move forward Learning
Light's plans to develop high-quality research and allied services to
help UK PLC to meet its business goals through developing its human
capital resources."
