About
I have been an elearning practitioner in the higher education sector (in Italy) for more than ten years. I worked as a course designer and as an online tutor. At the University of Milan I was director of the elearning unit for seven years. In this role I also co-designed the internal virtual learning environment and managed the multimedia productions to support web-enhanced teaching and learning activities.
In 2011 I completed the MRes in Educational and Social Research, Institute of Education, University of London, working on a dissertation that focuses on research practices in transition in the digital age and the interplay between digital and open scholarship. More on this at: http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloud/view/5173). In 2011 I also started my doctoral journey in the Education and ICT (e-Learning) program of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC).
My current research interests are: social media and course design, research ethics in online settings, impact of ICTs in higher education institutions, digital scholars and open faculty, open educational practices and new models of higher education.
From April 2012 I am a member of the JOLT (MERLOT journal of Online Learning and Teaching) Reviewers Panel
