Dan Pearson, Director of ICT, Emmanuel College

Dan Pearson has developed a reputation for his leadership in the areas of educational technology and innovation. He inspires a ‘teach’ rather than ‘do’ model of technology assistance – unlike most IT departments, which take your device and fix it for you, Pearson and his team take the time to guide users through how to fix the problem, enabling them to learn rather than always being reliant on the IT department’s technical knowledge. Pearson’s unique approach has had a positive effect throughout the college community; as people learn through the process, it also eliminates multiple requests for assistance with the same issues.
