Communities & Professional Service

Educator. Educational Developer. Community Builder — building communities of educators through EduSCAPES, Pedagogy Day, Educational Fellowships, SoTL networks, the Cyber-Physical Learning community, AJSOTL, ISSOTL and emerging Human–AI learning initiatives.

Building Communities of Educators and Educational Innovators

Founder and Programme Lead

Community-Building Philosophy

I believe that sustainable educational transformation requires more than individual innovation. It requires communities of educators who learn from one another, challenge assumptions, share evidence, and collaboratively shape the future of learning. My work therefore extends beyond teaching and research to creating platforms, networks and communities that enable meaningful educational change.
