Elizabeth Palmer
Learning Designer, University of Northampton, UK
Elizabeth Palmer (@ejpalmer1986) is a Learning Designer at the University of Northampton, where she is responsible for supporting staff in pedagogical design. Teaching and Learning design, and redesign, at the University of Northampton is undergoing substantial change in anticipation of a new Campus in 2018. The new teaching and learning plan places blended and active learning, ‘real world’ learning experiences, embedded opportunities for social innovation and both academic and graduate skill development as core requisites for teaching practice. In addition, Elizabeth is currently leading a meta-analysis of blended learning provision at the institution and supporting Dr Rachel Maxwell in the development of the ChANGE project (the development of a framework of graduate attributes embedding employability and Changemaker skills across the curriculum). Her role is underpinned by a background in Undergraduate course leadership and lecturing within the Arts, as well as teaching research methodologies, academic and cognitive skills across all levels of Higher Education provision.
