I coordinate and teach several courses in Bachelor and Master of Teaching Degrees, as well as supervise a range of doctoral candidates.

I lead the eLearning Program and also Work-Integrated Learning Placements at the School of Education at the University of Adelaide. The eLearning Program is working to embed personalised technologies throughout the Bachelor of Teaching degree in order to help inspire and equip early-career teachers to use technologies in the classroom.
