Research Supervisor Connect
An inter-disciplinary scholar, formally trained in archaeology and religious studies, I have, since 2007, taught rhetoric, argumentation, academic, professional, and public writing. My research expertise lies in analysing communicative artifacts including written texts to performative art, exhibitions, films, monuments, music, and songs. Since 2012, I have developed innovative digital assessments using OER, open-access mobile technologies and open mass collaboration platforms. An early adopter of emerging digital technologies, I designed and teach the first full credit-bearing unit that teaches encyclopaedic writing using Wikipedia as a platform; a unit that teaches students to develop, exhibit and maintain their identity and online presence on networking sites like Linked-in, and a unit that teaches students to communicate information visually, using data drawn from data that is in the public domain.
