Alexandra Trollope

I am an enthusiastic and engaging anatomist with over a decade of experience in educating undergraduate students in Allied Health, Medicine, Pharmacy and Biomedicine. I have received a Teaching Citation for my outstanding contribution to student learning, which was entered into the Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) and I have been awarded 3 Inclusive Practice awards. My teaching has been strongly influenced by transitional pedagogy, focusing on the transition of students into university life. My use innovative online and blended learning resources has been recognised by the university and has showcased as exemplar on a number of occasions. My passion for teaching extends beyond the university and into the local community, where I teach anatomy and run workshops at local schools and events.

My research focuses on stroke a major worldwide health concern with devasting effects for patients, especially in Northern Queensland, due to limited specialist care and remote locations. To learn more about why I am interested in this area of research you can watch my TEDx Cairns talk HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kz-bWmz9KI

I am also interested in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in particular the development of technology and its use within the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework.
