What is your role at USQ?
I’m currently a Professor of Educational
Technology in the School of Teacher
Education and Early Childhood. My work
in recent years has included teaching
undergraduate and graduate courses in
aspects of educational technology and
technologies education. I’ve also been
involved in related research and the
supervision of research students completing
doctoral studies in related areas.
How long have you worked at USQ?
I started working at USQ in April 1991 and
have been here since then. That’s coming up
to 26 years.
What has been your favourite change to
the University over the past 50 years?
I’m pleased to have been here at the start of
something that began as a branch campus
granting sub-degree qualifications and is
now internationally recognised as a university
graduating students ready to contribute on
the world stage.
What is your top tip for students
wanting to immerse themselves in
student life?
Do it. Join a club or activity and make your
contribution. You will make good friends and
build skills and confidence that will help in
whatever career you pursue.
