Other Information
I sit on the delivery team for the following national inter-university projects:
- Wales Collaborative for Learning Design (WCLD): This project promotes discussion, collaboration, innovation and research around the use of technology within the classroom. Through interactive 'learning labs', we aim to encourage educators to question what's possible, whilst instilling key learning design throughout the curriculum. [Funded by Welsh Government]
- National Professional Enquiry Project (NPEP): This project is supporting a growing network of schools across Wales to develop invaluable enquiry/research skills that they can use within their own setting. More information here. [Funded by Welsh Government]
