      • Learning &
        Teaching Interests

        I am an Associate professor and a Senior Teaching fellow of the Higher education, in the Faculty of Health Social Care and Education. As the Deputy Dean for Education for the faculty, I am therefore in charge of ensuring our high teaching standards are maintained and we are at the forefront of innovation in our teaching and programme design, as well as constantly reviewing our portfolio. Due to my leadership role my current teaching is limited but I contribute to various modules across campuses including

        University Teaching Modules

        LED4014 - Research methods and Methodologies for Education

        LED4015 - Learning Technologies in Higher Education

        LED4020 - Advanced Research methods

        LED4044 – Dissertation

      • Research Outputs &
        Interests

        I have a keen interest on the integration of technology into programmes to enhance the student experience and help increase engagement in the subject area and linked achievement of the students. I encourage the use of elearning in the team in a manner which does not replace face-to-face learning sessions, but rather supports them. 

        My current research interests are:

        • PhD area is ‘Using technology to enhance learning, progression and achievement in Higher Education’
        • Feedback and the use of technology to enhance and improve the student experience
        • The development of a student positive student culture and the impact on the learning environment
        • Personalised interactive students learning systems and supportive technology.
        • Digital literacies - exploring the understanding of digital literacy of staff and students at Middlesex University.
