Rupert Collister
Contact: rc_collister@hotmail.com
Dr. Rupert Collister has worked in the post-compulsory education sector for over fifteen years and his experience reflects the diversity of the sector in its broadest sense, particularly in the areas of distance, face-to-face, and blended learning.
Rupert’s personal philosophy of teaching and learning is guided by a deep belief in the transformative power of learning and that it is the context within which that learning occurs that determines whether the transformation is positive or not. He believes that it is the role of those who support learning (in any context) to create learning environments that facilitate such a positive transformation. Finally, he believes that the systems and processes which underpin teaching and learning (including technology) should be transparent and should simply be the catalyst for community building including communities of praxis (practice and reflection).
His first book, ‘A journey in search of wholeness and meaning’, was published in 2010 by Peter Lang Publishers (Switzerland).
