A 'hackademic' journalist (hack and academic) with over 30 years experience nationally and internationally in newspapers, magazines, radio, television, online and in news agencies, I embrace my role in academia, developing my own passion for journalism within students, equipping them with the necessary skills and information to succeed in their chosen subject. Seeking ways (at the request of undergraduates and employers) of enabling students from non-traditionally academic backgrounds to engage with, and absorb content-heavy critical core modules, has led me to explore the opportunities of harnessing ubiquitous technologies to develop effective learning. This has resulted in a collaborative partnership with students engaged in developing the efficacy of the approach of interactive learning.
