Teaching
I have been teaching as a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne in a continuous, i.e., tenured, role.
I am a proponent of problem-based learning and connectivism. Hence, I strive to include students in the research process early on and bring real-world problems into the classroom. I am an advocate of Integrating Ethical Design into Computer Science Assignments, an approach I have written about and presented at the CHI’21 workshop on Co-Designing Resources for Ethics Education in HCI.
