I am a Professor of Higher Education with research interests centered on teaching, learning, and supervision at the tertiary level. Specifically, my research focuses on the development of supportive educational practices, teaching, and supervision, alongside the utilization of technology in higher education teaching and assessment. Empirically, my research incorporates both quantitative and qualitative approaches, with a primary emphasis on the latter. Conceptually, my work is primarily rooted in cultural-historical and sociocultural perspectives on learning.
