I am an open education practitioner and researcher with the open-source data-driven Flexible Language Acquisition project (flax.nzdl.org) at Waikato. Being somewhat nomadic, I have gained experience and understanding from learning, teaching and researching across different educational contexts, including Higher Education institutions in the United Kingdom, Canada, Korea, and Aotearoa/New Zealand (my country of origin). Increasingly, I have been drawn to devising and delivering online language learning interventions that can be scaled and assessed across both formal and informal education.
