Enhancing the use of blended learning practices of the Tertiary Foundation Certificate programme

Dr Agnieszka ZabickaAgnieszka moved to New Zealand in 1999, having graduated from the MA programme in English Philology at the Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland. She has been studying and teaching at the University of Auckland since 2001; she received her PhD in English in 2010.

As Professional Teaching Fellow in English at the TFC, Agnieszka has been at the forefront of the adaptation of Canvas teaching and learning strategies to the specific needs of the TFC programme.

In her fellowship year, Agnieszka is developing a range of Canvas assignments, modules and quizzes to enhance the use of blended learning practices at the TFC.
