Dr. Caroline Ingram jointly shares responsibility for managing the JISC Business and Community Engagement (BCE) team with Rob Allen. The BCE team is concerned with the use of ICT in supporting the engagement between universities/colleges and external partners such as businesses and community organisations. Caroline joined JISC Netskills in September 2010 on a permanent part-time basis (2 days a week).
Caroline has successfully managed her own project management and research consultancy, CSI Consultancy Ltd, since April 2003. In her position as a consultant Caroline has worked with various JISC projects and services, and in the summer of 2010 developed case studies for JISC Advance about BCE. She has also been involved in many projects using innovative ICT within higher and further education; most recently this has included projects as diverse as research on the need for peer review for resources in Jorum, a metadata aggregations study, and writing a report on employability resources for a JISC-funded open content project. In December 2010, Caroline completed a series of papers contributing evidence to the review of Jorum.
Prior to setting up CSI Consultancy, Caroline spent 6 years working in the higher and further education sector, latterly as a JISC programme manager, where she was responsible for the area of learning and teaching, including programme management of more than 50 projects in the JISC5/99 Learning & Teaching programme.
