[Uwe Matthias Richter]

Hi everyone. I’m Uwe Matthias Richter and work as Academic Lead for Distance and Online Learning at Anglia Ruskin University. My role involves supporting the development of distance and online learning across my institution from policy to staff support and development. I teach on the PGCE / MA Learning and Teaching in the Education Department as well (keeps my feet on the ground 😉 ..) and have recently started on an EdD with the Institute of Education, London.

My big questions centre around learner participation in online courses, effective activity design and online learning communities e.g. what engages learners online; in how far does participation depend on effective activity design (what is effective activity design); how important is the creation of  a learning community for effective learning online?, etc.
