Steve Musgrave (2003)

Steve Musgrave is a PhD research student involved in Telematic research into Community Portals. He is a full time IT Manager at Blackpool and the Fylde College in Lancashire. Formerly a merchant navy Radio/Electronics Officer and design engineer with IMR/ITT. Beyond the professional qualifications he holds a B.Sc (Hons) in Electronics with Computing; an MSc in Information Technology and a post graduate Diploma in Management of Education. With a strong background in the Further Education sector as a Principal Lecturer and Head of Division of Communication Engineering, he transferred to a position in IT Management with Blackpool and The Fylde College to develop and implement a unified college-wide electronic network interlinking the campus sites, buildings and outreach centres. Implementation of a Virtual Learning Environment is currently on-going. Direct personal experience of managing multi-million pound IT projects has been gained through project management of Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) projects, notably the ICT centred 'Regional Open System for Education' project and SIGMA projects, giving network inter/intra connectivity between Colleges in a virtual private network. Recent experience of Community Portal planning, design and implementation has arisen through the partnership of Blackpool Borough Council, Blackpool and The Fylde College, and Telewest, in feasibility studies and planning of a 'Broadband Interactive Grid' public sector Community Network strategy for the Fylde Coast of Lancashire. Representation at national level includes membership of the JISC Information Environment Committee (JCIE) and NILTA Technical Committee. Steve gave a plenary talk on Community Portals - A False Dawn Over The Field of Dreams?.
