NTEU Branch Committee Member and Delegate

David Pank Building, Ground Level (TIU) City West

A passionate educational technologist and online instructional designer with more than 15 years working in the sector, I rarely switch off in exploring what ICTs can and are doing for education and communications.

I enjoy building capacity in others and consult across a wide range of projects within the human services organisation I currently work to advise on the use of online tools and technologies to communicate with and educate clients and learners.

Constructing learning is about the learner getting stuck into applying knowledge and nothing gives me more fulfilment than learners saying "I did it and I'm proud of myself!" I've facilitated workshops and delivered presentations across Australia and get a real buzz out of both teaching and learning - online as well as face to face.

My areas of interest related to learning include virtual worlds, gamification and game-based learning, communication in online and broadcast media, the neuroscience of learning, accessibility and Universal Design for Learning.

My background includes both the Vocational and Higher Education sectors as well as work for the Commonwealth government. I've had the opportunity to travel around Australia presenting on a wide range of educational technology topics and, as the producer and talent for eLearning Insights, Australia's first national elearning podcast, have had the privilege of interviewing some of the leading thinkers in the field.

I hold a BSci In Broadcasting and Marketing, a Diploma in Project Management, a Cert IV TAE with LLN, a Professional Certificate in Web Accessibility and I'm currently completing my Graduate Certificate in Online Learning from UNE.
