Associate Dean Learning, Teaching and Student Success


Summary

Alison has over 20 years of experience in higher education and is a teaching and learning specialist who is active in research in pedagogy and sport and exercise physiology.

As an Associate Dean Learning, Teaching and Student Success, Alison's role is to provide visible strategic leadership of teaching and learning within the College of Health, Wellbeing, and Life Sciences. Alison is accountable for the student academic experience, and she supports delivery of the University's strategic aims and operational priorities for teaching and learning. Alison's background is in applied sport and exercise physiology, and she contributes to the sport and exercise science subject area.

About

Alison's current research interests include the physiology of heat stress, including health of the older adult in a changing climate. Alison is also an active researcher in teaching and learning with a specific interest in the use of technology to support learning and teaching including the use of social media in higher education, and collaborative approaches to strategic technological implementation.

Recently, she has been undertaking collaborative work to develop models of staff engagement in anti-racist practice, and developing social media guidance for learning and teaching. Alison brings together her teaching and learning leadership with her physiology discipline background and is working on a collaborative project to develop a student-focused physiology learning resource.

Alison has held a variety of leadership posts at Sheffield Hallam and has led strategic projects at institutional, college and departmental levels. Her recent institutional change leadership includes developing clear delivery models for an improved student learning experience at module level, and initiating change for transformation in digital learning.

Alison is a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (PFHEA), a Senior Fellow of the Staff and Educational Development Association (SFSEDA), and a Fellow of the Association of Higher Education Professionals (FAHEP). Alison's national work includes working with Jisc on their Digital Transformation Project in 2023-24 and their Beyond Blended Project in 2024-25. Her international work includes her role as a Senior Editor for the Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice (JUTLP) and a founding director of the Open Access Publishing Association (OAPA).
