(Member)About Me
I am an Educational/Learning Designer with the Teaching Innovation Unit (TIU), currently working within the Division of IT, Engineering and the Environment, based at Mawson Lakes campus. Projects I am currently working on include the development of engineering courses for Open University Australia, the development of Mechanical Engineering courses for external delivery, and the design of a new Bachelor of IT program for fully online delivery through UniSA's upcoming online platform.
My role involves the writing of learning tasks, curation of teaching content, media creation, coaching (coaxing) online instructors, and implementing appropriate educational technologies that deliver the required learning outcomes and extend the digital literacy of our students.
I have specialised in distance/fully online education for over 15 years across multiple institutions and disciplines. For problems requiring an educational technology solution, I'm your guy, and happy to provide advice to anyone that will listen.
Course Writing Samples
Here are a few examples of formative learning tasks I have designed, researched and written for courses in UniSA's Bachelor of (Primary) Education program (MBET). Click the link to view the task...
Mathematics in Real Life
This is an introductory task for the first year Numeracy course, EDUC 1078. It's aim is to introduce students to the concept of mathematics and mathematical patterns as being an integral part of everyday life. This task was designed to ease students, who are pre-service teachers, into mathematical thinking by analysing objects that are familiar to them. It is also plays an important 'ice-breaker' task for external students, allowing them to share a slice of their world with their peers, providing the stimulus for introductions and discussion.
Wind Power
This is a scenario-based task for Design and Technology Education, EDUC 1018. This task provides a simple scenario with a local flavour that many of the external students from regional South Australia can identify with. Leading on from discussion on renewable energies, this task aims to introduce the idea of emergent technologies as having a variety of implications and impacts on its various stakeholders. Using real-world data from a proposed wind farm development, the task encourages students to research and analyse, and to develop persuasive written exposition.
Let There Be Light
This Design and Technology task is designed to develop students' skills in evaluation and problem solving. The task aims to reinforce students' understanding of the concept of 'Appropriate Technology' and teaches students to critically apply a given set of criteria to technologies in order to solve a problem. Students are presented with a problem and provided several examples of innovative technologies as potential solutions. Students are asked to evaluate these solutions against Appropriate Technology criteria that are relevant to the problem then write a case for their chosen solution.
A Course Design and Development Case Study
This slide show provides an overview of the strategic planning and design process behind an online roleplay environment that underpins Flinders University's Grad Cert in Gender Mainstreaming: a program that aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge to integrate gender considerations into policy making, project design and implementation, monitoring and evaluation, particularly within the field of International Development.
It has been one of the most innovative and rewarding projects I have been involved with, exceeding all expectations in educational outcomes. It has received overwhelming praise from students and peers, and has received several funding grants and teaching awards.
