I gained my Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh and am currently
Director of the Learning
Technology Unit (LTU), Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, University
of Auckland. My research includes one project evaluating the effectiveness
of training lectures in the use of technologies, another project assessing
the effectiveness of case-based learning for helping medical students
integrate concepts from across the medical curriculum, and a third project
evaluating an intervention to improve students’ study habits.
I am an Executive Member of the Australasian Society for Computers in
Learning in Tertiary Education (ASCILITE).
