Dr Jude Ominyi

Jude's early career activity in Higher Education was mainly teaching and supporting student nurses in developing knowledge and skills in the nursing care of individuals with needs. Jude's teaching philosophy focuses on developing teaching styles to facilitate student learning through providing a facilitative but challenging learning environment, allowing learners the opportunity to develop subject knowledge and lifelong learning skills. Jude utilises a participatory, collaborative and inclusive approach to working with students, ensuring that students are co-creators of knowledge in their learning development. Jude recognises that this requires a high degree of reflexivity and hard work to achieve.

Currently, the focus of Jude’s teaching is predominantly research methods at both undergraduate/postgraduate levels.

Jude is interested in and has researched on strategies to promoting student engagement using the Virtual Learning Environment.
