Intro

A trustworthy, reliable and honest individual with strong IT and communication skill. I have the determination to meet and exceed expectations and goals, as demonstrated in most recent employment at City University. I have demonstrated competency at a research assistant level in various sectors including higher education and health. My recent spell at the Learning Development Centre has been very enjoyable and a very satisfying experience. Before working at the LDC I attained professional development award by gaining experience through various roles including working with brain injured patients and researching human cognitive fuctionality. Also, I was recently awarded the stamp of ‘recommendation’ by a leading European recruitment agency and I was one of two candidates only to successfully complete the Adab Trust Leadership Programme. Most importantly, I possess an attitude of making practical and meaningful changes in peoples’ professional and personal lives through education and development.

Abilities / Skills

Adobe Connect

I have learnt to use Adobe Connect. Adobe Connect is an online collaboration tool where users interact with audio, video and chat, and can share files and screen activities. It has many possible uses, from delivering lectures over a distance to holding private meetings or small support sessions online. The technology has various pedagogical benefits which i hope to use in my life.

Turnitin

Turnitin is a web-based application that provides a number of functions that facilitate online assignment management including collection, marking, and feedback. It is also used to check electronic assignment submissions for 'originality'. It does this by comparing the text of a submitted assignment against text from a wide range of electronic material including journals, websites, and other students’ work, including work from many UK universities.

It seems that Turnitin is most commonly used to assist in the detection academic misconduct (such as plagiarism or collusion) in an assignment after it's been submitted. Turnitin can also be used formatively to help students learn about the importance of good academic practices and good referencing.
