National Teaching Fellows 2012 Dr Coral J. Dando Lecturer, Department of Psychology Lancaster University Dr Coral Dando is a Cognitive Psychologist, with a special interest in theoretical approaches to improving eyewitness memory in goal-directed face-to-face interview settings. Coral left school at 17 to serve as a London police officer, but returned to education in her mid ’30s to complete a BSc in Psychology, immediately followed by a PhD in Cognitive Forensic Psychology (awarded 2008). During her PhD Coral was offered a teaching placement, which signalled the beginning of an ongoing love affair with teaching. Over the past four years Coral’s teaching practice has evolved experientially, shaped by her own learning experiences as a police officer and a mature student, her involvement with the HEA Psychology Network, and research interests. She now teaches Cognitive and Forensic Psychology worldwide, to undergraduates and postgraduates (UK, USA, Malaysia, Europe, Japan), professionals of all ranks and positions, and criminal justice systems worldwide (eg UK, Europe, US Department of Homeland Security). Coral’s overarching priority is to empower and enable learners, whatever the environment and whatever their situation. In doing so she has actively sought to widen participation in a manner that reaches far beyond the traditional higher education agenda to include: providing access to diverse learning opportunities, be they in the community, the workplace, or more traditional learning environments; facilitating contact with teachers who are able to maximise the efficacy of learning opportunities and promote individual learning excellence (eg inviting practitioner academics to contribute to teaching); and the provision of conditions that support a synthesis of opportunity, audience appropriate teaching and enthusiastic learners. Coral’s three-stage animating theory approach to teaching lends itself to both small and large group teaching, and can be adjusted to meet the needs of individual student groups and the time available. This method has been fundamental to her teaching success. It has assisted students to accept and value the intellectual challenges associated with understanding theory and the associated literature, while at the same time engaging their interest and enthusiasm, and demonstrating to them what they will gain as a result of their studies. 14
Dr Basiro Davey MBE Senior Lecturer in Health Sciences The Open University Dr Basiro Davey joined The Open University (OU) in 1976 after completing a Doctorate in Tumour Immunology. During a career spanning more than 35 years, she pioneered the development of an extensive distance-learning curriculum in Health Sciences, mentored a generation of academic staff in the discipline, chaired production teams and exam boards and contributed to hundreds of original multimedia learning resources on global public health, immunology, epidemiology, communicable diseases and cancers. Under her leadership, Health Sciences became an established multidisciplinary field of teaching and scholarship at the OU, widening access to a BSc (Honours) in Health Sciences and supporting careers and personal development in health-related fields for thousands of adult students. In 2009 Basiro became Deputy Director (Ethiopia) of the OU’s Health Education and Training (HEAT) programme. Her expertise in global health and distance learning enabled her to develop and lead intensive curriculum design and writing workshops in Ethiopia with over 50 local health experts and 12 OU colleagues. Together they produced 13 modules commissioned by the Ethiopian Ministry of Health in key areas of health promotion and disease prevention in rural African communities, all of which are open educational resources (OERs). These OERs are free to study online or download, adapt and use anywhere in the world. In Ethiopia they form the core of a blended learning programme to upgrade the country’s 33,000 rural Health Extension Workers (HEWs) to a consistent quality standard nationwide. Areas include maternal and child health, environmental health, family planning, sexual health, nutrition, immunisation, communicable and non-communicable diseases and mental health. Basiro also led tutor training and assessment workshops in Ethiopia, and more recently in Nigeria, to develop capacity in distance learning pedagogy for academics from six Nigerian Universities. She is currently engaged in developing a programme on non-communicable disease prevention in India. In the 2012 New Year’s Honours list Basiro was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire for services to higher education and to health education. 15
