Head of Jisc Scotland and Jisc Northern Ireland

Not long after graduating in law with French law from University College London, Jason’s passion for education led to a lectureship at the University of Abertay Dundee. Whilst specialising in European law, consumer law and then IT law, he was also an enthusiastic adopter of technology in teaching (including use of online self-assessment with large classes, delivering learning material through a virtual learning environment, and use of video for teaching and feedback). He also gained valuable experience through undertaking a secondment as head of law. In 2004, he moved on to become service manager at Jisc Legal. He championed effective use of technology, such as webcasting and use of voting pads. Beyond his enthusiastic evangelism for good use of technology in education, Jason enjoys running, cooking (haggis wontons a speciality), judging school debating, gadgets, travel and the music of Girls Aloud.
