Compton, Theresa - Plymouth University

个人简介

I have a general title of lecturer in biomedical sciences but my actual role is in several parts. I am a PBL tutor to group 7 in the first year. Problem based learning around a patient case is how I learned as a medical student and I found it extremely effective. I like the way the students can use this approach to construct their own learning and can tackle complex problems as a group. I am also a pastoral tutor which means I am here to listen if students are having any problems during the course of their studies and direct them to the appropriate advice and help. I have a special interest in the use of technology in teaching and technology enhanced learning as I have previously worked on developing resources. I like creating multimedia interactive resources such a podcasts or reusable learning objects. I am one of the case unit block leads for the atherogenesis and ischaemia case units in year two, so any queries regarding these case units on the study of old age can be directed to me. I am a provider for doctors as teachers SSU for year 4 students this year too, as well as supporting the first and second year special study units. My year 2 SSU is on the application of medical sciences in obstetrics and gynaecology and starts in the new year. In terms of research and innovation, areas that I am interested in include student support, student engagement and small group teaching.

A great deal of the work I have previously done on resources has a creative and design element. In order to make resources accessible, useful and desirable the elements of a pedagogic design need to be there. I strongly believe when using a technological resource like a device or app is intuitive, thats when the design is right. I like resources that incorporate all modalities of learning, and include graphics, audio, video etc. I also enjoy using creativity in my teaching, having previously used role play, drawing or poetry to increase engagement, add fun or tap into emotional processes in learning.
