She also worked as Scientific Collaborator at the European University of Cyprus teaching and training for knowledge development, skills and technology-mediated instruction for future language teachers.
As a researcher, Victoria has worked in funded projects on the use of ‘learning technologies’ and the production of outcome measurements to document impact and benefit.
