Visual and Creative Assessments: The Learning Developer Perspective

Biography

I am a Senior Learning Development Advisor based at Bath Spa University. I have an extensive background in teaching and research with a recent move to HE learning development. My interests include creative pedagogy, particularly in making learning more engaging, interactive and accessible for students. I also value supporting students working on ‘authentic’ assessments across different disciplines and this topic informs my current research on student response to visual and creative assignments.
