Speakers
Deborah Arnold, National and international projects coordinator, AUNEGe, France
Having participated in and coordinated European projects for nearly 20 years, Deborah has developed significant experience and expertise in the field of transnational collaboration to support the transformation of learning and teaching through the use of digital technology and media. Her approach to project development is grounded in the conviction that successful projects not only address the needs of clearly identified stakeholders, but also respond clearly to European and national policy priorities. She particularly enjoys mobilising diverse groups of people and organisations to take an idea forward from concept to implementation, with collaboration, transparency and trust at the heart of the process.
Deborah was one of the founders of the eLene group, an informal network of institutions which have come together on a project basis since 2004 and which is currently engaged in its sixth European project eLene4Life (Learning and Interacting to Foster Employability). Before joining AUNEGe, the French digital university for economics and management, in September 2018, she ran the educational technology and distance learning department at the University of Burgundy. Prior to that, she worked for over 10 years as a project manager at Vidéoscop, the audiovisual and multimedia production department of Université Nancy 2. From 2010 to 2016 she served on the Executive Committee of EDEN (European Distance and E-learning Network) and held the position of Vice-President Communication (2015-2016).
Deborah has a Masters degree in digital media production, journalism and communication from the University of Burgundy, and is currently completing a PhD on the topic of leadership for technology-enhanced learning in higher education at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) .
