Meet Our Talent
"Our students are incredible. By the time they reach third-year, they are presenting complex scientific concepts and research in a way that rivals some academics. It’s amazing to watch."
Meet Charles Sevigny
As a teaching specialist, A/Prof Sevigny is responsible for face-to-face teaching, curriculum design, and oversight of the Physiology major. A/Prof Sevigny has worked to improve the delivery of lectures to students and trialed many techniques to improve active learning and the student experience.
"Blending hands-on and face-to-face activities and the new exciting tools in digital learning is essential to create a well-rounded student experience," he says.
As part of this work, he launched the University’s Virtual Reality Learning Studio (VRLS) and now coordinates the Digital Learning Hub in the School of Biomedical Sciences, the largest room-scale VR learning studio in Australia. A/Prof Sevigny has designed online interactive adaptive learning modules supplemented with 3D animations including a 3D heart and in 2017 he received the coveted David White Award for Teaching Excellence for his work with the VRLS.
