RunCoCo is a very small team. Indeed as I (Alun Edwards – the project manager) walk around our building here in Oxford I get called ‘Mr RunCoCo’! All that should change as I am very pleased to announce that Dr Ylva Berglund Prytz has joined as our new project officer (part-time).

This follows a lengthy recruitment process, (delayed by wider economic concerns, and practicalities like travel plans – strike threats/ash), during which we interviewed some extremely talented candidates.

Kate Lindsay, the Project Director, left to go on maternity leave at the end of April 2010. Although Kate should have been reducing her work load to help her through this stressful and most tiring of times, there was little evidence of this. I would personally like to say ‘Thank you!’ to Kate for all her input and hard work over the past four months while she has been project director and my line manager – hopefully after the baby she will come back and work with RunCoCo again. Everyone here wishes Kate good luck with the birth.

Kate’s role as Project Director will now fall to the project manager (Alun Edwards), and line management for Alun passes up to Melissa Highton, Head of the LTG (University of Oxford Learning Technologies Group).
