About me
A significant part of my role at Leeds is to ensure the Learning Design Agency adequately supports and guides staff on their learning design journeys. I am passionate about creating pathways and opportunities for staff to consider innovative and sustainable approaches to student education and curriculum design—something that can be realised through partnering with the LDA.
I have particular expertise in student partnership methodologies and tools, and this is something that plays a key role in the work we deliver as part of the LDA. I’m an advocate of the transformative potential of authentic co-creation experiences and a firm believer of the benefits this brings to students, staff and institutions as a whole.
I have led large-scale initiatives in institutions in Australia and the UK that have embedded partnership practices and sustainable approaches to student development within institutional practices and thinking. Through the LDA, I want to help staff members to think strategically and long-term in their plans, so that ideas are realised in ways that are tangible and measurable.
How I can help
I am available to discuss potential plans for working with the LDA or with Curriculum Redefined as a whole, whether that is at a module, programme, school or faculty level. I can help staff to consider plans and approaches to student partnership and how to enable authentic co-creation practices and they reimagine their modules, programmes or initiatives.
