Areas of Research
My scholarship activities focus on advancing teaching and learning. I am particularly interested in how learning technologies can enhance the classroom experience both in-person and online.
I have produced a series of video interviews highlighting educators that developed innovative ways of teaching during emergency remote delivery due to COVID. Details of these interviews can be found here (https://taylorinstitute.ucalgary.ca/resources/videos/innovator-educator)
My responsibilities are split between the Department of Biological Sciences and the BSc Neuroscience Program (http://www.ucalgary.ca/bscneuro/).
