In addition to the Collaborative Teaching Laboratory I have managed several large projects at the University, including the rollout of Canvas and Online Marking in CoSS, and leading on the development of the University’s new Professional Development Gateway for Teaching and Learning. I recently delivering a live webinar for the Time Higher Educational Supplement on online marking and have presented at a number of national and international conferences on various Educational Technology topics.
