As expected, New Zealand is amazingly beautiful, even seen through the rain! I am staying with Alison Holmes, who is the Director of Learning at Teaching at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch and also a good friend from our days at Northumbria University. I’ll add a pic of the view from her house as soon as I have downloaded it. We have managed to spend some time sightseeing around KaiKoura and Marlborough Sound over the weekend and Alison is also advising me on T&L aspects of my project, which is tremendously helpful.
Tomorrow I shall be spending the day at the university library – as well as meeting the staff and touring the library, I’ll be giving a talk to some of the staff and hopefully getting them to participate in my research.
