- Profile
-
I am a Digital Adviser for the Faculty of Health at the University of Sheffield. My specialisation is supporting and developing online masters courses for postgraduate education in health related disciplines.
My primary focus is to collaborate with academic staff to translate complex health and social care curricula into engaging, accessible, and scalable blended and online learning experiences, ensuring a high quality learning experience for all our students. I'm also heavily involved in upskilling staff in the use of learning technologies.
I am particularly interested and skilled in developing technology-related solutions and improved workflows to solve pedagogical problems and enhance the efficiency of online course management and delivery across the Faculty. This includes exploring the role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play in enhancing learning materials and improving interactivity, engagement, and accessibility for our students.
I joined the University in February 2011, initially within the Public Health section of SCHARR as a Learning Technologist. My broad experience in technology-enhanced learning includes prior roles as a Learning Technology Adviser at the University of Salford (supporting Health and Social Care) and as a Senior Learning Technologist for the HEFCE-funded Centre for Interprofessional e-learning (CIPeL) at Sheffield Hallam University. My career foundation is uniquely informed by early experience in web design and the video games industry, bringing a creative and user-experience-focused approach to educational technology.
- Teaching interests
-
I am particularly interested in how technology can be used to assist in the design and delivery of teaching, learning and assessment. I also have a keen interest in web accessibility and usability. I am involved in using and evaluating new technologies and have experience in learning object development and online and offline resource creation.
One of my ongoing aims is to `upskill´ and educate staff in the use of educational technologies to help enhance their areas of teaching practice through bespoke staff development sessions and one-to-one support and advice.
