My name is Jen Ross. I am Professor of Digital Culture and Education Futures  at the University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, Scotland. I am  Associate Dean (Research Cultures) in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and co-director of the Centre for Research in Digital Education.

My research interests include education and cultural heritage futures, online distance education, digital cultural heritage learning, open education, and issues of surveillance and trust. I supervise masters and PhD students in these and related areas.

I founded the MSc in Education Futures at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, and teach on both this and the MSc in Digital Education programmes. I co-lead the Digital Cultural Heritage cluster at the Edinburgh Futures Institute.  I’m one of the team behind the MSc in Digital Education programme, the  Manifesto for Teaching Online, and the E-learning and Digital Cultures MOOC.  I’m a senior fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

This site has details of my teaching, writing and research activities. News and updates are available in the blog. Please feel free to get in touch.
