Biography
Andy is the Business Lead for the University’s Rethinking Assessment project, leading on assessment and feedback support across the institution. Andy has worked in a wide range of different roles across the University for more than 30 years. Originally qualified and working as a librarian, he then moved to a research role in the School of Education, and then to lead the enhancement of a number of different areas in the assessment, initially in Registry and latterly in the Cardiff Learning and Teaching Academy. Andy also works for Advance HE on the UK Degree Standards project, focused on the professional development of external examiners.
While Andy’s passion is the enhancement of assessment and feedback, he also has experience and expertise in a number of other education related areas, having previously led the Curriculum Design Team in the Academy between 2019 and 2022, supported the peer review of learning and teaching, led the introduction of learning analytics, and having been described on one noteworthy occasion as the “learning outcomes man” to a QAA review team.
Outside of University life, Andy can often be found on a bike, out of breath, half-way up a hill somewhere in the Welsh countryside.
