Key projects:
Oxford Literacy Assess (‘OLA’) – an award-winning suite of print and digital reading assessment resources aimed primarily at early years teachers and students. The project launched in January 2014 and led me to:
· work with authors, editors, designers and production controllers to create high-quality, engaging assessment texts
· develop relationships with educational experts
· build skills in developing a large-scale online platform, for data management and reporting
· visit around 20 schools to trial prototypes of an innovative new assessment tool – the ‘digital reading record’
· use customer feedback post-launch to devise and implement a ‘roadmap’ for the future development of the online resources
· provide professional development to educational leaders, teachers and sales consultants
· write help copy for all digital components, structured around key user journeys
· plan and create a suite of videos to support the resources
· create marketing copy for print promotional pieces, EDM campaigns and the OUP ANZ website

· Oxford Literacy Independent (‘OLI’) – an independent reading series, whose digital components linked to OLA
· Oxford Owl – Oxford Primary’s online dashboard, and ‘gateway’ to free and purchased digital resources
