Faculty of Health & Social Care (HSC)
The Open University
I work mainly on eLearning.
At present I have three main areas of involvement:
K319 Adulthood, ageing and the life
course
I am a member of the module presentation team and the Examination Board.
The HSC Resource Bank
The HSC Resource Bank – a
repository of online learning materials shared across modules and courses – was
developed by the SORRS (Shared Online Resources Repository System) Project
team. As lead academic of the HSC Resource Bank team, I liaise with course
teams about adding new materials to the Bank and about keeping existing
resources up to date, and advise on integrating existing materials into OU modules
and courses. I am also developing a series of ICT skills activities for
inclusion in the Bank.
ICT skills development
As chair of the HSC Faculty’s Skills Working Group, I contribute to
faculty policies on skills and employability.
I work with module teams to advise on skills development policy and on
the integration of skills learning and assessment into the subject context.
I was a member of each of the module teams that developed K217 Adult health, social care and wellbeing
and K218 Working with children, young people and
families, both first presented in 2010. In each module I was mainly
responsible for the ICT skills development strategy. I also worked with other
team members to integrate skills activities from the HSC Resource Bank into the
subject context of the module.
Before joining the Faculty
of Health and Social Care in December 2005, I had worked in the Science Faculty
of the Open University since 1988. During this time, I contributed to a number
of Science and interdisciplinary modules, including:
U316 The Environmental Web
SD226 Biological Psychology
S103 Discovering Science
U205 Health and Disease
S326 Ecology
SD206 Biology: Brain and Behaviour
S365 Evolution
S324 Animal Physiology
HSC
Resource Bank: online, interactive ICT, information literacy and numeracy
skills activities.
U316
The Environmental Web: web and CD-ROM
based activities; assessment.
S103
Discovering Science: section on
speciation for Book 9; multimedia tutorials Galapagos:
adaptation and evolution on islands and Holly
leaf miner.
SD206
Biology: Brain and Behaviour: Chapter
on Behaviour and Adaptation for Book
1, joint editor of Book 1, TV programme A
conflict of interests; video Analysis
of Behaviour; audiocassette Problems
of Mind and Brain; assessment; practicals and
multimedia tutorials for residential school.
S365
Evolution: Chapter on Species, Speciation and Extinction;
assessment.
S324 Animal Physiology: assessment.
Multimedia
CD-ROMs on The Human Brain and The Human Nervous System, used in
several OU courses.
My research interests lie in eLearning, particularly in:
·
the development of digital literacy skills
·
the use of repositories and integration of generic materials
into courses.
Currently, I am joint Project leader of the Evaluating Approaches
to Developing Digital Literacy (EADDLS) project.
I previously carried out
extensive research into technology-enhanced learning in Science higher
education.
I am currently a referee
for the journals British Journal of
Educational Technology and Health and
Social Care in the Community.
I have previously also carried out biological research on animal behaviour and evolution, in particular on social relationships.

|
My
most recent biological research looked at mate choice and intrasexual
competition in the speckled bush cricket Leptophyes punctatissima. |
|
Previously I worked on the
determinants of dominance and the relationships between status, territory and
mating success among peafowl (Pavo cristatus) in a feral population at Whipsnade Zoo. |
|
|
|
The
research for my D.Phil was concerned with mother–offspring
relationships and social organization in |
