II Encontro SEaD - On-Line - 14, 15 e 16 de Outubro 2020

"I have been working in Higher Education since 2001 with different roles and exposed to different realities. Before starting to work at UWL, I was a Senior Lecturer in Technology-Enhanced Learning at Kingston University London where I co-led a University wide initiative aiming at transforming the Virtual Learning Environment, Online Learning and Assessment. I’ve taught and led modules and courses in different institutions and countries related with Curriculum Design, Learning, Teaching and Assessment, and with Quality and Online Learning.

My academic background is in Education and more specifically on Technology-Enhanced Learning. My doctoral research aimed at establishing the foundations of active e-learning by designing a quality framework for sustaining effective learning design and delivery, and in developing procedures for evaluating active e-learning.

I’m passionate about design as a research paradigm and design thinking. My current research interests relate with co-designing physical and online learning spaces; learning design and learning analytics; and quality and policy in Online and Blended Learning. I’m currently interested in supervising PhD and Master students in these areas.

I have been a reviewer of some of the most relevant journals in Online Learning such as Computers & Education, British Journal of Educational Technology, Research in Learning Technologies or Educational Technology Research and Development. I have been invited to be a keynote speaker in different conferences and seminars across Europe and South America.

As an academic I’m particularly fond of linking my practice with research and learning from other contexts and other ways of thinking. I envision higher education as an innovative and creative place wherein students and academic staff learn and experiment with each other as agents of change."
