A Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, Andrew serves as the Education Lead for the Department of Strategy, Enterprise and Sustainability. He is responsible for shaping and delivering the department’s educational vision, aligning it with wider faculty goals, and driving innovation in teaching and learning practice across programmes. Andrew is currently leading two major digital education initiatives. The first is collaborating with Glean.ai to explore how multimodal note-taking technologies can enhance student engagement, cognitive load management, and learning equity, particularly for underrepresented groups. In parallel, he is at the forefront of developing a digital twin Metaverse for Manchester Metropolitan Business School, creating immersive, simulation-based learning environments that foster graduate career readiness. With a strong research and practice focus on digital education, inclusivity, and learning innovation, he is passionate about how educational technology can be harnessed to close the awards gap and create more inclusive, accessible, and effective learning experiences for all students. His goal is to build bridges between pedagogical theory, digital practice, and strategic leadership and place Manchester Met at the forefront of the UK’s digital education agenda.
