Expert Advice and Knowledge Sharing

• Advise university teaching and management staff on the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of resources supporting assessment feedback and integrity, within courses and across programs. Maintain knowledge of current and future assessment technologies in higher education, sharing this expertise with the wider University community.

Project Leadership and Collaboration

• Plan and lead internal learning and educational design projects, coordinating resources, defining scope, and objectives. Work closely with colleagues and other subject matter experts to advance pedagogical outcomes, especially concerning AI and assessment security.​

About You

• Relevant degree/qualifications and at least four years of experience in developing online resources to support student learning and assessment.
• Demonstrated understanding of educational technology and best practices to support student achievement, engagement, and assessment security, particularly in the context of AI.
• Advanced analytical skills to identify and address complex issues related to assessment security and integrity.
• Proven ability to apply pedagogical theory and contemporary practice, leveraging high-level problem-solving skills to develop innovative face-to-face and online learning and assessment solutions.
• Highly developed interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build and maintain strong collaborative relationships with diverse stakeholders and a commitment to client needs. Demonstrated ability to work iteratively, adapt to change, and operate effectively both autonomously and as part of a collaborative, client-focused team.
