LF-Connect

LF-connect aims to provide video clip perspectives on topical issues related to leadership, management and governor development in higher education, with links to related resources from the Leadership Foundation or other organisations. If you work at one of the Leadership Foundation's member institutions, you can participate in discussion about each theme and its related clips and links via the dedicated JISCmail list. To join, contact Wendy Mason.

A Hefce approach to continuous improvement: An interview with Steve Egan, deputy chief executive of Hefce in discussion with Philip Sullivan, projects director at De Montfort University, Leicester. This interview was published in ENGAGE 16 and short video clips of Steve Egan's answers are available to view.

During LF-Connect's pilot stage, we are also offering clips and materials from the very successful Learning from America project; associated events were over-subscribed but LF-Connect gives you a chance to see a small collection of the material covered.
