Our Contributors

The academic world is international and so are Epigeum's contributors. We work with subject experts from the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.

In total, over 60 academics and almost 100 students are usually involved in the development and testing of each individual course. Only after successful testing is the course released for sale.

 

The contributors involved in each of our programmes typically include:

• A lead advisor who gives top-line strategic guidance, helps to short-list authors and oversees the way material is integrated into the curriculum
• Authors who write the courses and work with the production team to produce the multimedia online content
• Expert reviewers who check the authors' work, making sure that the course is academically rigorous and engaging for students
• Interviewees – academics and students – who appear in video documentaries embedded within the courses
• A supporting development group of universities who help to work out the detailed curriculum, review the content and test the beta version of the course on their students and staff.
