Dr Carina Bossu
I am a Lecturer (Learning and Teaching) with the Tasmanian Institute of Learning and Teaching at the University of Tasmania. My current work and research are primarily focused on Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Educational Practices (OEP) in higher education, more specifically issues related to learning, teaching and professional development. Previously, I was a Research Fellow with the Distance Education HUB (DEHub) at the University of New England. I also have an interest in academic staff development, higher and distance education, educational change and policy development; which were some of the areas studied during my PhD. On a personal level, I am interested in history, music, travelling, and other people's travel experiences. Email Carina

I am an Educational Designer based in the Tasmanian Institute for Learning and Teaching at the University of Tasmania. With a disciplinary background in design, I have a strong interest in design for learning and interdisciplinary curricula, developed through roles in technology enhanced learning and teaching (TELT) in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden and the UK. In the past five years I have worked on several national projects assisting disciplines to define and implement course-level learning outcomes and assure students’ learning (funded by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT)). In parallel, I completed a doctoral design research thesis on housing, food systems and urban resilience, now examined and passed. Beyond work and research, I grow food, cook, hike and get lost in music and books. Email Wendy
