Biography

I am an associate professor and Enterprise Fellow in Education Futures with University of South Australia. I earned my doctorate from Columbia University’s Teachers College in 2004 and I have held several higher education positions in the culturally diverse contexts of New York, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.

My research, teaching and development work focus on innovative approaches to educational assessment, feedback and learning engagement. I am especially interested in assessment change management and critical engagement with assessment- and feedback-enabling technologies.
