- Technology-enhanced learning and teaching
- Online content delivery and student engagement
- Field teaching and interactive virtual environments
I teach Geology as part of the Environmental Science, Geospatial Science and Civil Engineering degrees at UniSA. Find out more about what studying Geology at UniSA is like on our Facebook page.
See some of the ways I enhance Geoscience field teaching using high-resolution Gigapans and 360 panoramas.
