Team Tuesdays- Meet Ada, Learning Designer

Name: Ada Huggett-Fieldhouse

Role: Learning Designer 

What is your role in the CESI team?  
I will be leading and working on exciting projects under the Digital Education Strategy and the Education and Students Strategy. Additionally, I will be working in partnership with the College of Physical Sciences and Engineering to help enhance learning, teaching and the use of educational technology. Outside from CESI, I teach Linguistics in the evenings at Cardiff University’s LEARN. 

Describe a project you have been involved that you have enjoyed 
My particular interest is what goes on in synchronous teaching sessions. I developed a peer-assisted learning programme which saw Level 5 students (called PAL Leaders) running fun, facilitative teaching sessions for Level 4 students on their programme. Seeing the attending students learning and the PAL Leaders growing into their roles was an amazing sight! It was great teaching the PAL Leaders to use interactive classroom software, as well as old-school ‘pen and paper’ facilitation techniques!
