The Change Enabler Network provides localised knowledge that acts as a critical link between EdTech teams, and the programme team and faculties and departments, helping enable the effective delivery and adoption of the new system.
Recruiting for members
All faculties have now recruited Change Enablers to represent their areas, using a range of approaches, some through nominations and others through open calls for interested colleagues.
Our network has grown to more than 150 members, and we continue to welcome additional participants who are passionate about supporting change within their faculty or department. Please note that recruitment processes differ across faculties, and some may still require nominations. Further details of who to contact are provided below:
