Through Learning With Creativity Mike can provide your organization with bespoke workshops as well as seminar/webinar facilitation in contemplative, transformative and creative teaching & learning. Given his transdisciplinary approach, he is also well qualified to facilitate across boundaries to help dissolve disciplinary silos and promote communication and co-operation between members of your organization.
Mike can also leverage his extensive curriculum development expertise (online and face to face), including advising on assessment, evaluation & feedback approaches to suit your requirements. He can also apply his many years of experience as a scientific research group leader, manager and mentor.
Mike also has extensive experience of international higher education, particularly in Canada (where he carried out his PhD and two post-docs) and in transnational educational development in India (through his role in a collaboration between Trinity College Dublin and Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET) between 2016 and 2020).
