…to our two new TEL Support Officers, Sev Raychev and Peter Moll.
These are new roles in the CQSD-TEL team. Along with TEL Applications Manager Andy Turner, Sev & Peter will be working closely with the TEL Advisors, and with IT, to help and support staff and students using all of the university’s digital learning tools – principally Blackboard and Turnitin.
Sev: Hi, I’m Sevastiyan (Sev) and I’ve been working at the University for a few months as an IT Support Analyst where I became familiar with the university’s systems. I have a BSc in Computer Science and am currently doing an MSc in Business Informatics part time.
I’ve previously worked at Aberystwyth University’s IT Department supporting their IT systems including Blackboard and Turnitin. I am very passionate about technology and education, so I am very excited to be here.
I look forward to working with all of you to make the most out of the technologies we have!
Peter: I have used virtual learning environments from different viewpoints. My background of an Ancient History degree ironically prepared me for the role, using Blackboard as a student. I have recently supported the Directors of Teaching and Learning within the School of Politics, Economics, and International Relations. This has given me an overview and exposure to the university, as well as specific knowledge of Teaching and Learning processes. I feel Sev and I will complement each other in our background and knowledge base.
