The Knowledge Media Institute at the Open University is playing a leading a role in a new national Institute of Coding [1, 2] aiming to increase the number, diversity and skill level of Computing graduates in the UK.
Part of the innovations we will bring to this 20M pound funded exercise will involve the use of blockchains for student learning records and learning analytics to aid in predicting and improving student outcomes.
More on the jobs can be found at [3] – the closing date for applications is March 29th.
Happy to take any questions on the posts by personal email.
