Meet Kerry,<br />
she has them<br />
rolling in<br />
the aisles.<br />
While topics like wound care, manual handling and interview techniques aren’t typically<br />
top of mind for hilarity, our nursing lecturer has become renowned for enhancing students’<br />
understanding through humorous role play and narrating often funny experiences from her extensive<br />
hospital work. Kerry has also produced teaching aids including industry standard textbooks,<br />
CD ROMs, websites and interactive displays to support her teaching techniques. Humour aids<br />
understanding and information recall, she insists.<br />
“For me, teaching<br />
is about engaging,<br />
motivating and<br />
inspiring learners.<br />
Humour through<br />
role plays captures<br />
students’ attention<br />
and engages them<br />
in the learning<br />
process.”<br />
