Kate Wilkinson

Career Overview

I have taught in Higher Education for over twenty years, teaching exercise physiology and anatomy mainly in humans but previously in equines. After the completion of my doctorate exploring quiz gamification in anatomy teaching in 2016, my research and practice focus navigated towards student engagement, assessment, and feedback. I moved from Middlesex University in the London Sport Institute to my current role in 2019, where I am able to work with an innovative team and support student learning across the institution. My focus is on enabling students to gain an inclusive, authentic learning and assessment journey through their chosen programme whether that is through working with students or peers.
