A major part of my role in The Faculty of Health & Social Care was developing e-learning materials, especially resources to develop ICT skills. I also worked on production or presentation for several of the Faculty's modules including:
SK120 Diabetes care
K217 Adult health, social care and wellbeing
K218 Working with children, young people and families
K311 Promoting public health: skills, perspectives and practice
K313 Leadership and management in health and social care
K319 Adulthood, ageing and the life-course
Before joining the Faculty of Health and Social Care in December 2005, I had worked in the Science Faculty of the Open University since 1988. During this time, I contributed to numerous Science and interdisciplinary modules, including:
S103 Discovering Science
SD206 Biology: Brain and Behaviour
SD226 Biological Psychology
S324 Animal Physiology
S326 Ecology
S365 Evolution
U205 Health and Disease
U316 The Environmental Web
The teaching materials I have produced for these OU modules include contributions to printed text books, online resources and activities, multimedia CD-ROM activities, TV programmes, video and audio materials, residential school practicals, continuous assessment and examinations. With my co-authors, I published award-winning multimedia CD-ROMs on The Human Brain and The Human Nervous System, which have been used in several OU modules.
Before joining the Open University, I spent 2 years in Sudan at the University of Gezira, as Lecturer in Vertebrate Zoology.
