I am a Senior Lecturer at Oxford Brookes in Educational Development

I have been at Oxford Brookes since 2000 and joined OCSLD in June 2006. Among other things, I teach on the PCTHE and other PG modules, including collaborating in course design, the development of teaching materials, and the course web site, and the assessment of student work. I develop and deliver staff and educational development workshops both internally and externally and play a leading role in the strategic development of the University’s use of e-learning and learning innovation.


I undertake research into the pedagogical, social and technical dimensions of e-learning nationally and internationally and am interested in the interactions between personal identity and the values and beliefs that are embedded in the artefacts of Learning Technology. I teach on the Open University MA course, “Language and Literacy in a Changing World” and was the Project Manager for a series of JISC Distributed e-Learning Tools Projects, developing and implementing the Open Source Portfolio in 14 sites in Southern England. Before Brookes I worked in Adult Community Learning projects and as an instructional designer for the energy industry.
