Profile
Stamatina is the Teaching Fellow for the Distance Learning provision of the School. She works closely with programme leads and other colleagues in the School and beyond, to design and produce dynamic, media rich learning materials. She also manages the ongoing review of the existing online offer based on students’ feedback and the changing digital learning offer.
Research
My research focuses on digital learning, with a unique focus on two complementary areas: informal science learning and the evaluation of initiatives for institutional change. I develop these two research strands, by means of funding bids, research, publications, and teaching. My interdisciplinary skillset and long experience in digital science learning, together with my skills in the evaluation of change initiatives, is a significant contribution to the School’s innovative research.
I joined the School in 2019 as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow. I brought a new dimension to ULEIC’s Museum Studies research portfolio around informal science learning and I am interested to continue this research within the School and beyond through research and teaching initiatives.
