Dr Carol Russell
|
At the time of Project EnRole, Dr Carol Russell was Learning & Teaching Fellow in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of New South Wales.
She later joined the University of Western Sydney as a Senior Lecturer in Higher Education (2011-2019), working with academic staff who were introducing new curricula and learning technologies. A particular focus was in combining quantitative and qualitative analyses to provide evidence for continuing improvement. She is a Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy. Since retiring in 2019, she has maintained her interest in helping teachers carry out evidence-based evaluation of curricula and learning environments. |
