Profile Summary

I rejoined Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) in August 2006 as a learning technologist, and since October 2020, a digital academic developer. I have worked in higher education for over 20 years, and have been actively involved on a range of local, national, international and award-winning projects relating to technology, learning spaces and education.

I have acted as a Community Teaching Assistant (CTA) for the University of Edinburgh on the "e-Learning and Digital Culture" Coursera MOOC. I hold a Doctorate in Education (EdD) and have published a number of book chapters on educational technology.

Research and Knowledge Exchange

My research interests include: educational technology, open education, e-portfolios, learning spaces, social media, scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), and professional learning. My recent EdD research concerned 'The Professional Learning of Academics in Higher Education: A Sociomaterial Perspective'.

Teaching and Subject Expertise

I have taught on the 'Enhancing Academic Practice' module of the University’s Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP) programme. I have also taught on the Faculty of Social and Applied Sciences' Masters by Research programme. I have prepared and delivered a number of academic professional development events and sessions on educational technology and digital learning. My teaching duties include seminar delivery, workshop facilitation, mentorship, peer observation and feedback.

External Activites

I am a Senior Fellow (SFHEA) with Advance HE (AHE), a Member (MBCS) and Chartered IT Professional (CITP) with the British Computer Society (BCS), and an Ordinary Member with the Association for Learning Technology (ALT).
