Biography

Dr Bronwen Dalziel works as a Senior Lecturer in the Medical Education Unit. She is the Year 2 Coordinator of the MBBS degree (as of 2011), and also coordinates the Scientific Streams for Years 3 to 5 (eLearning). Her current research focus is in Learning Design, particularly creating reusable templates for the development of content for online modules.

Bronwen has a PhD (Science) from the University of Sydney, with research looking at genetic based differences in energy metabolism of obese people. Although Bronwen has moved out of a lab-based environment, she still has a firm interest in public education about obesity, childhood obesity and insulin resistance.

Prior to starting at UWS, she worked for an eLearning company, LAMS International, developing online science lessons for K – 12 students in the UK, as well as running training courses on how to use the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) software.
