Teaching Experience

I teach both theory and practice-based modules in digital media, across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. I co-ordinate and teach the lens-based media, graphic design, and animation streams on the BSc in Multimedia, and the MSc in Emerging Media at DCU. I have competencies in various aspects of multimedia production,including photography, graphic design, visual culture, animation, (stop-motion, 2D vector animation and 3D).

Teaching Ethos

My teaching ethos is centred on finding innovative ways to integrate traditional ‘production’ modules with critical thinking. I consider it a duty not only to give students a grounding in technical skills, but to develop conceptual and critical skills. I have developed modules that transform theory-based modules into learning environments where production skills are utilised in critical ways, and multimedia artefacts are presented alongside traditional written essay work. Likewise, with practice-based modules, I have integrated research and conceptual components.
