Biography
Debbie Holley, Professor of Learning Innovation is a passionate educator who holds a National Teaching Fellowship and serves on their national committee. She was awarded her Principal Fellowship of AdvanceHE for strategic leadership in technological innovation and was recently recognised for her sector leading work on Technology Enhanced Learning in the sector with a Senior CMALT from the Association for Learning Technology, Her specialist areas were the ‘tilt’ to online with Covid-19 and Virtual Worlds for educational purposes. In her former role, as Head of the Centre for Excellence in Learning at BU she managed three teams to deliver digital culture change following the procurement of Brightspace, a new institutional VLE. This body of work has been utilised as a springboard to encourage the redesign and move to pedagogical approaches by programme teams.
Working across the wider Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, she is promoting and researching the impact of simulation for health care education inside and outside the formal classroom... Sharing her expertise with blending learning to motivate and engage students with their learning inside /outside the formal classroom, at a time and place of their own choosing., she seeks to offer evidence based practice in the development and evaluation of digital health applications.
Her research interests are in digital competence frameworks, and she has, with other EU experts, influenced the rewriting of the EU DIGCOMP Framework (2022) in the area of digital safety, security, health and wellbeing. Her current work is exploring the implications of technostress upon student wellbeing. With extensive research interest in Augmented reality (AR) Virtual reality (VR) and extended reality (XR) she worked with a panel of international experts on the inaugural ‘State of XR and Immersive Learning’ Delphi study for the Immersive Learning Research Network, a scanning and forecasting international report.
Her doctoral students are working on a range of projects exploring the impact of technology on dementia, educational contexts, end of life care, and eczema and other health conditions. Debbie researches as part of the Nurses for Long Term Health Research Centre (NLTH), and the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP).
