Research Interests
Project lead for the transformation of the post-graduation education webpages and working alongside South Bank Innovations.
I undertook a theoretical investigation (Allen-Ashcroft 2016-2019) as part of improving teaching delivery where I created a virtual and augmented reality lung. This was developed from concept of idea through to its implementation as part of teaching delivery for 500 Postgraduate students. The unpublished evaluations provided an indication as to the huge potential this technology has to advance learning beyond traditional classrooms walls. This now forms the basis of my PhD research where the aim is to examine and evaluate the impact of using immersive technology in the teaching delivery versus traditional teaching delivery in Postgraduate health students (N&M and ACH) who are undertaking Advanced Clinical Assessment modules. This research will focus upon examining if there are significant differences between immersive versus traditional teaching delivery upon active learning, clinical reasoning and skill acquisition.
