I am a Ph.D. candidate with the University of Victoria investigating how open educational practices are being enacted in formal higher education. My research looks at the experiences of faculty in designing and practicing open educational approaches to teaching and learning, as well as the student perspective of engaging with open educational practices. I currently work as an educational developer and have significant experience supporting emerging educational technologies in formal higher education. I strive to embed open educational practices into my work as an educational developer whenever possible.
