Dr. Schofield is one of the top experts in online teaching and a member of the Scottish Higher Education Developers (SHED).
Dr. Schofield’s work life started in programming; afterwards, she delved into project management in the financial sector in London. This led to an interest in training and education. In 1991, she completed a PGCE at Cambridge University. Thereafter, she moved to the University of Dundee in 1999, where she studied for a Master’s degree in Applied Computing, which she combined with a 3-year research assistant post on a European-funded eLearning project. This was followed by a PhD. in the School of Education at Dundee. She currently represents the University on the SHED (Scottish Higher Education Developers) group.
As a Reader at the University of Dundee, Dr. Schofield is saddled with the responsibility of designing and delivering face to face as well as distance learning of various courses such as application of educational theories, teaching methods, reflection and reflective practice, learning styles, instructional design, technology-enhanced learning, blended learning, curriculum development, educational environment principles of assessment and self-assessment. Her current research interest includes technology-enhanced learning, digital and assessment literacy.
This webinar is open to all interested members of academic staff in the University of Lagos.
