Teaching interests

After years working in academic development, curriculum design, and SoTL management in RMIT's STEM College (followed by various academic development and teaching roles at other universities), Meg returned to RMIT to work in the College of Business and Law (CoBL).

Research interests

Dr Colasante's research has largely focussed on tertiary teaching and learning, especially towards innovations that improve student experiences involving curriculum design and/or educational technology. More recently, research interests also include university teachers as learners and agents for change within the higher education workplace (using cultural-historical activity theory).

PhD topic: Co-constructing digital teaching practice in higher education: An activity theory perspective.
