Online Teaching Experience
Through working at the Open University, Massey University (NZ) and at my current university, during the COVID pandemic, I have developed extensive experience in the design and delivery of online learning through the use of Blackboard Ultra, Adobe, Panopto and Canva recorded lectures as well as effectively structured tutorials using Teams or Zoom. I specialise in tailoring small group or individual tutorials or lectures to students with a variety wide variety of learning needs, whilst my experience of teaching undergraduate and master degree students at Massey University has given me extensive experience of working with students where English is not the first language.
