I love WONKFE I just wish there was a WONK-FE as that’s the current courses I work with and is perhaps and under-represented area. Anyway, this article speaks volumes to what my case study regarding assessment and feedback revolves around. I am understanding assessment of students through the lens of student support and what we… Continue reading Listening to students! (Student Feedback)

I recently have been suplementing my research around play/work dichotomies and bringing that into learning spaces by reading articles such as the one below. It has reinforced my beliefs that play is a powerful and meaningful, worthwhile (if misunderstood, under-researched, under appreciated) mode of practice and methodology to bring not just into the classroom, but… Continue reading Interesting Reading

I am so excited to be organising a screening and talk, which will be part of an end of term celebration event I am working towards for Foundation Students as CCW. The film is timely, inspiring and powerful. Based in Riga, the Riga International Biennale of Contemporary Art was partly cancelled due to COVID so… Continue reading I secured an education license for Biennale Film!

After my acceptance on to study the PG Cert I was experimenting and thinking how being in a classroom/studio made me feel, especially as I had some nervous energy with the knowledge at hand that I’d soon be teaching as well as learning. I spent some time in the studio almost in a meditative and… Continue reading Architecture of the classroom

Enhancing Academic Practice I have just read chapter 22 from this book and it was incredibly engaging, thought-provoking and exciting for me. As a newcomer to teaching I am very hungry for knowledge, but often don’t know where to read case-studies, discover stories or insider information. This book is like a treasure trove for previous… Continue reading A Handbook for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Just a simple blog-post here, but I think I’d like to post at least to act as a reminder to include this in my future online teaching. What an amazing technique and fun way to gauge involvement. The cross-programme session was taught by Jheni and Siobhan, focussing on Data. We were later challenged to work… Continue reading BBC Wordsearch: Genius!

I have been invited to an Action Research Group headed up by UAL Online and Georgia Steele. The action research group is divided into 4 groups which will explore 5 key themes including: Flexability, Access, Inclusion, Belonging and Embodied Practices. I have chosen Embodied Practices, which I think fits absolutely perfectly with my current disposition,… Continue reading I am part of UAL Digital’s Action Research Group: Embodied Practices

I have started planning an exhibition which will take place in March in Tallinn, Estonia. This includes organising and delivering some workshops. I would like to deliver some photography workshops which engage with the local community and explore new materialism, object ontology and further explore documentation as practice. I will update this blog-post with results… Continue reading Exhibition Planning

I taught my first in-person sessions on CCW Foundation in Art and Design on 9th February. I ran 3x 1.5 hour long experiemental and interdisciplinary photography ‘Documenting Your Work’ workshops for the Communication, Design and Art Pathways. Each was attending by around 10 students. They were asked beforehand via email and a online BBC lecture… Continue reading I taught! 09.02.22

I did my first ever teaching observation. Wow, it was a really interesting experience. I play tennis regularly, and it reminded me of how when you watch someone else play, you spot your own game in theirs. This includes their strengths, weaknesses and of course a combination of how your own skills reflect theirs. I… Continue reading I Observed! (15.02.22)
