I would like to join ONL262 to strengthen my practice as a higher-education educator and develop more inclusive, collaborative and evidence-informed approaches to online and blended learning. Drawing on my experience teaching design and interdisciplinary subjects, I am particularly interested in learning with an international peer group and exploring how open, networked pedagogies can support students working across design, science and technology. I hope to apply the course directly to future curriculum development and my continuing progression towards a faculty position.
