In my role as Teaching and Learning Librarian, I am responsible for the development of liaison librarian competencies in order to meet the Library’s role in the support and development of student skills in information literacy, geospatial literacy, numeracy and new media literacies. I recently completed a second as Embedded Teaching and Learning Librarian at the Centre for Leadership in Learning at McMaster, I am working within the campus’ teaching and learning support unit to design and develop a course to improve student skills in digital media literacy. I am also working on the creation of communities of practice for McMaster instructors, aimed at developing a campus culture of scholarship in teaching and learning, and supporting the effective use of educational technologies. My interests include the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), 21st century literacies (information literacy, geospatial literacy, numeracy, new media literacies), the pedagogy of games, academic integrity and corporate culture in higher education.
