How can I help Learning Developers?
How I can support Learning Developers: As an editor, I would be happy to support aspiring authors in the publishing process. In addition, I have a lot of experience and interest in creating workshops and teaching materials, delivering one-to-one work, course design, assessment, and giving feedback. As a hybrid academic I have a unique insight into working practices and student partnerships, which I would be also keen to share.
