I am delighted to say that Claire Ross has accepted an invitation to
become the new Chair of DLNet, the Digital Learning Network.
Claire's appointment was universally welcomed at a recent committee
meeting, recognising her sustained energy, enthusiasm and expert
insights into the ongoing development of DLNet.
Claire is a researcher at the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities
<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dh/> . Her research focuses on the value and
impact of digital cultural content by exploring user information seeking
and interaction behaviour as well as focusing on user evaluation and
user centric design of museum websites, social media applications, and
online collections. Formerly, she held the position of E-Learning
Development Project Manager, working on a collaborative project with the
University of Exeter and Geevor Tin Mine Museum.
As Vice Chair, I look forward to continuing work with Claire, the rest
of the committee, our members and others to raise levels of awareness
and engagement in key issues relating to the use of digital technology
to support learning in the cultural sector.
If you are not already an online member of DLNet, you can sign up for

informal ThinkDrink events. Find out how to organise your own
