Abstract

Lesley English, an experienced library and academic adviser, qualified in learning and teaching in HE, and a professional librarian, along with a small team of skills and e-learning advisers, created the University of Cumbria’s first MOOCs, which are offered as pre-entry support to students studying at levels 5, 6 and 7. Their work was recognised by the Vice-Chancellor in 2015, who awarded them with the VC’s Award for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, and was also part of the nomination which led to the team being shortlisted for the Times Higher Education Leadership & Management Award for Outstanding Library Team in 2016.
