Areas of interest
A key area of interest is helping students become autonomous learners, particularly in relation to greater assessment literacy. In recent years, I have taking an active interest in responsible of use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in education. As a key member of the Foundation team and academic tutor, I am also interested in supporting students’ transitions to university.Background
