Not a Brit, but IIRC Cormac Lawler was doing his PhD on Wikiversity.

Sorry this should have been using Wikipedia/Wikimedia in Higher Education.
 
 The overall course is about the use of wikis in general, and they are
asking one of us to do a particular interview on the use of
Wikipedia/Wikimedia in universities.

Interview request
 
  2009/5/31 Andrew Turvey andrewrtur...@googlemail.com:
   We have recently been approached by a company asking for someone to be
video
   interviewed on the subject of how Wikipedia can be used in
universities.
  
   The company is a spin off from Imperial College in London and is
partly
   public owned and partly privately owned. They are currently preparing
   courses in new technology, which are expected to be used by over 100
higher
   education institutions around the world.
  
  Sorry, I'm a little confused - is this using Wikipedia in higher
  education, or using wikis in higher education?

Sorry, I should have clarified - I'm based in Manchester, so yes, I could
travel to London. I'm a bit low on funds though, so I would probably need
reimbursement for the train. :-)

It was this line which initially put me off - I'm writing my PhD about the
implications, and use, of Wikimedia for/on education, but I can't say I'm
particularly familiar any more with much of what happens *within Wikipedia*,
having been more involved over the last few years in Wikiversity. I'm pretty
busy these days, but I could possibly do this if needs be. You can contact
me offlist if you like.
