Stuart Phillipson is the Media Technologies Coordinator at the University of Manchester, currently his main focus is to bring a large scale lecture capture system to 100 teaching spaces. His previous projects have involved evidence based approaches to examine the impact of lecture capture, deployment of large scale medical teaching video systems and the design of highly interactive teaching materials.

Through his long term experience of working directly with the academic community he has developed a great deal of interest in the usability of media focused IT systems and their impact on teaching. This approach has lead to a ‘High Commendation’ in the UCISA-Eduserv Award for Excellence and a short listing for this year's Times Higher Education Award Outstanding ICT Initiative of the Year.
