How can I help learning developers?

I am always keen to collaborate – and talk/write about: digital education, hybrid pedagogy, academic literacies, creative learning and teaching methods, peer support, inclusion, and identity.

I have extensive education research experience as both principal investigator and project lead, and I am happy to share that with anyone having questions about: grant proposals writing, qualitative data collection and analysis, project evaluation and reporting, ethics, and publishing.
