Ray Fleming
Ray Fleming is the Education Marketing Manager for Microsoft UK, and has spent 25 years working within the education ICT industry. In that time he has worked for some of the main organisations in education ICT – RM, Capita, and now Microsoft – in a variety of roles.
“In my current role I create a bridge between the education institutions and their suppliers of ICT, and am often involved in conferences and meetings where the purpose is to discuss the impact of ICT upon education, and the potential for transformation. Often, with commercial companies, the goal is to draw them closer to the educational world, and to help them to see the needs that universities, colleges and schools have. Similarly, with education organisations, I am often asked to tell the story of how technology is changing, and what the impact may be on education – both within and outside of the institution.”
Why not watch Ray’s talk from last year’s FOTE conference, entitled ‘The Collaborative Campus and the Cloud’ below. He addresses the challenges of cloud computing. ‘In the world of students, the debate about cloud or not is history – they just use the services. Now it is not just students but faculty too. Challenge for a business and the individual is ownership of information – where does the intellectual property of your institution sit? In your own or someone else’s systems?’
