My role is to support academic and administrative staff across the organisation in their use of learning technologies. I work with staff to find elegant and workable solutions for assessment or teaching and learning scenarios.
I am also responsible for writing and developing support materials for staff and students in a variety of formats, including online guides and screencasts, and designing staff development sessions on a range of learning technologies and their use in teaching and learning at the University . I have recently worked on redeveloping our support website to coincide with our move to Blackboard Learn Ultra and an institutional course template.
I have worked in CQSD TEL since 2018 and have been involved in major projects such as the Electronic Management of Assessment (EMA) project, rolling out of the Personal Capture solution YuJa, and the recent Blackboard Ultra project. I have become increasingly interested in assessment, from a digital learning standpoint and the wider Higher Education perspective as we climatise to the emergence of AI in all it’s forms.
I have an academic background in Early Years education and have also worked extensively in Higher Education, and love noticing the similarities between the two streams in terms of pedagogical fundamentals and the dedication of those working in each sector. I am currently working towards my MA in Education and Technology at University College London and am very much enjoying experiencing the student perspective to contemporary higher education and the technology used within it as well as being immersed in forefront of educational technology research.
