Reference Excerpt

I was Allan’s line manager for 8 years when I was the Director for the CLPD. Allan is able to convert technological innovations into effective learning experiences for students. It is not just the shallow use of technology to smarten up traditional teaching methods; it is a genuine redesign of the learning activities so that students are able to develop deep and meaningful capabilities that can be applied to future learning opportunities.

Prof. Geoff Crisp

Reference Excerpt

Allan’s innovations have enabled us to develop teaching methodologies that have bridged the issue of equity and accessibility. He strategically encouraged us to develop interactive learning modules (ILMs) that have enabled all students, in a diverse cohort like ours, to learn in a way and time that suits them.  These modules prepare students regardless of their social, educational and/or work backgrounds to come to class equipped with the same level of pre-existing knowledge and skills sets to promote a student constructed active learning paradigm. These ILMs have transformed the way we teach and the way our students prefer to learn. Over the years, and under Allan’s constant guidance, our ILMs have developed into multi media interactive packages that have changed the way our students engage with us, their peers and the discipline of oral health.
