Teaching Interests
The rapid pivot to online teaching due to COVID-19 has fueled my interest in how best to engage students in the digital space. Having completed the #OpenTeach March 2020 I have a keen interest in digital pedagogy, student-centered learning, and how to promote digital literacy among all students. For this purpose, with the help of the Digital Learning Design Unit, we created social media support learning resources, to enable students to make the most effective use of Social media, for learning and collaborating. The subjects I teach are Caring and Communication and Sexual Health, sexual education, and positive sexuality.
