Welcome!

…to our newest staff member Jackie Fairbairn,
our new TEL Advisor.

“Hello, I’m the newest member of the TEL team and I’m really looking forward to working with staff at Reading University.

Before joining the University I worked in FE colleges, as a lecturer in Creative Technologies and in a support role providing staff development sessions and mentoring PGCE students. Within these roles I covered a variety of eLearning tools; I have a particular interest in blended learning and deploying new technologies in the classroom.

I am keen to share the benefits of technology in learning. My degree is in Graphic Design and I started my career in education by working for an educational app provider, which sparked my interest in teaching and learning. Alongside working in the TEL department, I am completing a part-time MA in Education.”
