Design and Implementation of Virtual Reality Learning Resources
I lead the development of virtual learning resources in anatomy to engage learners outside the lab and to support learning of students from diverse backgrounds. I partnered with the PVCESE Immersive Technologies team and group of student tutors to scale-up the initial 'proof of concept' prototype I designed. This is an example of one of the co-developed resources created.
Development of the Teaching Technology Toolkit
A wide variety of learning technologies were used across UNSW in the transition to blended learning. With the number of options available, it can be difficult to select educational technology that is best suited to desired learning outcomes. This toolkit was a pilot project idesigned by initially surveying staff with teaching responsibilities on their current practice and on what they needed

Embedding a Humanistic Curriculum in Anatomy Education
Developments in biology and genetics in recent decades have caused significant shifts in the understanding and conceptualization of human biological variation. Humans vary biologically in different ways, including individually, due to age, ancestry, and sex. An understanding of the complexities of all levels of biological variation is necessary for efficient health care delivery. Important
