I am a Lecturer in Open Media in the Department for Media and Communication at Coventry University. Teaching across a range of specialisms including emergent digital media platforms, digital culture and multimedia production on a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. I am involved in developing and initiating some of the university’s pioneering work in emerging digital platforms. This includes initiating and managing Open Access Projects with Apple’s iTunes U and Youtube Edu. I have also developed a number of projects for Mobile Apps, Digital Archives and am currently working in the areas of open scholarship. When combined, these projects have helped to set free thousands of teaching and research resources onto the web and resulted in millions of downloads and interactions. I also have published academic work within the area of digital culture and have provided digital media consultancy work to major Universities in China, Nigeria and South Africa. On top of this I have spoken at a number of international conferences within the area of open and web-based digital media within education. I have been highly commended and recognised for this innovative work at national awards. I have also been involved in digital media related projects for a wide range of companies and organisations including the BBC, BT, HEFCE, United Nations, NHS, JISC, the FA, Sport England, Coventry City Football Club, Virgin Radio- including a number of UK and European funded Research Council projects. When I have time, I also like to volunteer myself for a number of creative community and charity based projects. My website is http://www.petewoodbridge.info
