National Teaching Fellows 2012 Dr Vivien Rolfe Principal Lecturer in Anatomy and Physiology De Montfort University Dr Vivien Rolfe’s background is in gastrointestinal physiology and she joined De Montfort in 2003 having worked previously at Nottingham University and before that at Mars Incorporated as an animal nutritionist. Viv is programme leader for Medical Science at De Montfort, and also lectures to biomedical science students. Her subject specialisms include anatomy and physiology, evidence-based medicine and systematic review, and also intellectual property and commercialisation. She is a self-taught animator and develops learning resources for her students. As one student claimed ‘I love animation, it helps stick things in my brain’, and certainly the combination of visual materials and narration make for very popular and effective learning tools. Viv won the Learning Technologist of the Year award jointly in 2009 from the UK Association of Learning Technology in recognition of her use of animation. Viv shares her materials with wider audiences as part of the UK Open Educational Resource (OER) programme, run by JISC and the HEA. She has led three projects: the Virtual Analytical Laboratory (VAL) sharing laboratory skills resources; Sickle Cell Open – Online Topics and Educational Resources (SCOOTER) which supports the education of sickle cell anaemia; and Health and Life Science Open Educational Resources (HALSOER) sharing learning materials in medical science, forensic science and midwifery. The open education movement comprises a global network of educators, students and technologists seeking to share materials and support all types of learners in gaining access to education. Viv has supported staff and students at De Montfort in using and sharing OER, and is leading institutional change towards a culture of more open working. Viv combines her technology research with her interest in intestinal physiology, and in collaboration with the Leicester Royal Infirmary is participating in the BOBCAT project working toward international consensus on the management of Barratt’s oesophagus. Other research involves her passion for music and looking at the sonification of biological data – turning biological signals into sound – to assist diagnosis. Her publications are online on the De Montfort Research Archive – DORA! 46
Kim Russell Senior Lecturer in Midwifery and Women’s Health University of Worcester Kim Russell trained as a midwife at Worcester Royal Infirmary and worked as a clinical midwife for 14 years before moving into higher education to teach on the first Midwifery degree programme at the University. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, member of the Doctoral Midwife Research Society and past member of the Royal College of Midwives Education and Research Committee. Kim is best known for championing natural child birth and organising an annual national birth conference, which brings together academics, practitioners, managers, service users and student midwifes to discuss evidence-based practice. Her teaching of natural birth is based on the creation of authentic learning experiences in the belief that learning through active enquiry and reflection helps students gain capability and confidence. She believes that these approaches promote meaningful interaction with learners and the attainment of skills and attributes which support evidence-based midwifery practice. During her HE career Kim has also been involved in a number of curriculum development innovations. During a recent revalidation of the BSc (Hons) Midwifery programme she helped introduce a new course structure to make lecturers more visible in clinical practice and increase opportunities for one-to-one student support and practice teaching. Being actively involved in educational development activities across the University as a tutor on the Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in HE, Kim has led learning and teaching projects, facilitated special interest groups and mentored new lecturers. Educational development allows her to share her passion for teaching and learning with academic staff and promote professional values which foster personal reflection and a desire for continual improvement. The handbook Preparing to Teach at the University of Worcester (Russell et al, 2010) was written to help new lecturers provide undergraduates with transformative learning experiences. Dr Ian Scott, a National Teaching Fellow, and head of Worcester’s Academic Development and Practice Unit, (ADPU) said of Kim: “She has an unparalleled ability to engage both academic and students alike…It is difficult not to be impressed by Kim’s dedication and capability as a developer of others.” 47
