research overview |
<p><span>I have a strong interest in scholarship involving innovative pedagogical
teaching practices within a digital setting. I have worked alongside teaching colleagues
in the School of Life,Health and Chemical Science to consider differences between
tutor and student expectations for synchronous online tuition. </span>The project
was noted for its strategic importance and impact on university policy within a complex
and evolving environment.</p><p>My current research interests involve a collaboration
with colleages in learning innovation and learning design to investigate the relationship
between learning design, learning behaviours and student outcomes on 4 x level 2 STEM
modules, to establish any significant correlations.</p> |

biography |
<p>I graduated from the University of Surrey in 1999 with a Bsc (Hons) in Chemistry.
I went onto undertake a Glaxo Wellcome funded PhD at the University of Reading (supervised
by Prof. Wayne Hayes) investigating the molecular imprinting of steroidal drugs.</p><p>After
completing my PhD I went to work for BP as a development chemist, working in their
Castrol division looking at new production innovations and green technology for diesel
fuels. I moved to the West Coast of Scotland in 2008 to join a biotechnology start
up company where my research returned to a more biological focus, investigating the
use of novel marine microbial metabolites as potential oncology agents. </p><p>I
joined the Open University in 2011, initially as an Associate Lecturer teaching on
a new practial science module SXC288 - this ignited my interest in virtual and remote
laboratory instrumentation and I remain interested in the teaching of practical science
and associated skills online to this day. I went onto teach a range of other modules
in science at levels 1, 2 and 3 in chemistry and interdisciplinary science at level
one up until the project dissertation modules at level 3.</p><p>I became a staff tutor
in chemistry in 2018 working in the School of Life, Health and Chemical Sciences.
At present I am module team co-chair alongside Marcus Badger of the module S112 (Science
concepts and practice), and am link staff tutor on S315 (Further Concepts in Chemistry)
and SXN390 (Science in Society project module). I also manage clusters on SDK100 and
SDK228.</p><p>I am currently teaching on the modules S215 (Chemistry Essential Concepts)
and S112 (Science Concepts and Practice). I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education
Academy (SFHEA).</p> |
