Biography

I’m a senior lecturer in the Centre for Educational Research and Development where I teach on the doctoral and PGCE programmes. I also support and advise colleagues across the university on the use of Blackboard, Turnitin and other manifestations of learning technology. Previously I have worked as a learning adviser in the Faculty of Business, and a librarian supporting the faculty of art, architecture and design. Before coming to the university I worked in further education, as an assistant librarian at Peterborough Regional College and before that, as a library assistant at the Royal Institute of British Architects. http://www.architecture.com/
