She joined the Centre of Learning and Learning and Teaching, which became the Department of Learning Teaching and Assessment, at Robert Gordon University in 2005 as a Learning Technologist. Then moved to the School of Pharmacy and Life Sciences in 2008 as an eLearning Advisor, latterly an Online Learning Developer, where she was also the Accessibility Lead and the Business Champion for the school with the rollout of Office 365.

I am passionate about patient involvement in research, user experience with technology, and providing appropriate and authentic assessments and feedback.

Toni now co-ordinates two postgraduate work-based Learning courses as part of our MSc Programmes.

My specialities are digital marketing, technology-enhanced learning, and assessment and feedback. I am also a member of the group that informs us of the upscaling of the university’s work-based learning for all students in line with our 2040 strategy.
