David Callaghan Email & Phone Number

I am a Senior Educational Technologist with over ten years experience in Higher Education. Skilled in Educational Technology, Instructional Design, Curriculum Development, Distance Learning and E-Learning. I have a strong academic background with a first degree in Computer Science (UEA), then PCGE (Lanc), PGCert, and MA e-learning (Lanc).I encourage best use of TEL by HE lecturers in areas such as delivery (content), communication (engagement) and assessment (feedback and review). Specific tools include D2L’s Brightspace VLE, the Panopto video hosting service, and Turnitin. This is achieved via blog posts and guides, course reviews, and delivering CPD sessions. I am an avid user of Twitter (@DBCallaghan and @LSTMTEL), TEL discussion lists, and TEL journals for keeping ahead in the profession, networking and sharing best practice. I review for ALT & BJET, and have written many blog posts (e.g,, https://blogs.edgehill.ac.uk/learningedge/author/callagda/ at Edge Hill University, plus https://dbcallaghan.blogspot.com/). My most recent journal article is about the experiences of International Students using Action Learning at Liverpool Business School (https://doi.org/10.1080/14767333.2018.1510633)‘The clever man will tell you what he knows, he may even try to explain it to you. The wise man encourages you to discover it for yourself, even though he knows it inside out.’ Anon in Gautam and Batra, 2011:113
