I have taught in a number of areas:
- University.
- High school.
- Primary school.
- Mature age students.
- Higher degree supervisor.
1. University.
The following are some of the courses I have taught at university under grad and post grad level.
- Systems Science in Healthcare.
Health care systems are complex consisting of many interacting components, people and perspectives. You will learn about systems theories (for example, resilience, consumer participation, and sociotechnical perspectives) and apply them to examine policy and practice underpinning public health problems. The unit is delivered by experts in health systems, including digital health informatics, safe systems and systems evaluation methods. You will learn through guest lecturers, interactive activities and assessments requiring you to analyse and evaluate real-world case studies and health interventions.
- Information Systems and Strategy.
The subject is essentially about the application of technology for competitive advantage. Throughout the subject, the spotlight will be trained on techniques and frameworks for “thinking strategically about a company’s technological orientation’. A wide spectrum of business and technology issues will be covered that address the problems and issues surrounding the analysis and development of an IT strategic plan.
-
Human Computer Interaction.
This subject is designed to help managers of information technology projects understand and appreciate issues that affect the usability and utility of software, from a user point of view, and how to ensure that introducing new software to the organization will improve work processes and increase productivity. The subject examines the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and the major phenomena surrounding them. Students will be introduced to methods and techniques used in evaluating user needs and the usability of the interactive system. They will be given the essential theoretical background to HCI approaches, methods and techniques followed by practical experience in conducting different types of usability evaluations.
-
IT Project Management.
This subject focuses on advanced knowledge of project and change management of IT projects to facilitate optimum utilisation of resources. The subject will focus on IT projects in agile environments. Topics covered include project and change management in agile project environment, optimum resource allocation, monitoring and reporting progress of IT projects to ensure the projects are carried out in accordance with agreed standards, methods and procedures.
2. High school.
- Computers, Cameras and Pixels: Year 10 Future Finders.
Each year of my PhD, I taught the Year 10 Future finders introduction course into Computers, Cameras and Pixels. The idea was to get Year 10 students thinking about the types of areas they could study in University. It was great fun!
I visited the CERN Atlas detector in the Hadron Collider with my dad!
3. Primary school robotics.
I have also taught primary school students the basics of robotics. Here I taught in multiple primary schools how to program Lego robots to play soccer! This was so much fun!

4. Mature age student advisor.
Here I have helped a number of mature age students get into University. I am a firm believer in learning and self improvement. Life can sometimes get in the way of the traditional methods of getting into uni.
5. Higher degree supervision.
I have supervised a number of students over the years. This includes Honors, Masters, MD and PhD students.
