Research Fellow

Dr. RuoLan Wang joined the team in January 2009, having obtained a PhD in Education from the University of Exeter (2007). With a keen interest in generating an evidence-base for teaching and learning and, particularly, assessing the impact of technological interventions with an educational component, RuoLan works collaboratively with members of the VLL and the Institute for Research into Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (IRLTHE) teams to develop visual research methods and participate in studies designed to expand understanding of visual learning in higher education.

RuoLan's main responsibilities consist of developing new research proposals, conducting research studies and contributing in a wide range of dissemination activities. She is also involved on a 3 year Higher Education Academy (HEA) funded project into 'Enhancing Learning in Clinical Work Placements', working together with colleagues in the University of Nottingham, School of Veterinary and Medical Sciences, the University of Nottingham, Centre for Social Research in Health and Healthcare (CSRHHC), as well as a research team based at the LIVE Centre in the Royal Veterinary College in London.

Prior to her current role, RuoLan was working in the Education Enhancement Unit at the University of Exeter on a research project evaluating the impact of video and conferencing technologies on undergraduate provision.
