I've developed and taught many courses across Media and Communications, Media Production, Computational Media, Media Ecologies, Media Theory and Creative and Visual Arts. Here is an incomplete list of some of the courses I have taught recently. I have also written and taught courses in creative coding, electronics, robotics for school age children as part of a start-up I founded (and folded) called 'Polygon Door'.
An interdisciplinary production workshop with a focus an ecological thought. The most recent editions use UOW's soundstage and 'television' studio to explore live streaming multi-cam production with an emphasis on production of an experimental media and communicative event

This subject explores the historical and contemporary contexts in which art and design objects have been made, seen, and understood.
A ground breaking Digital Media Arts program that was absorbed and shutdown - taught in partnership with TAFENSW. The most interesting experimentalist approach to media archeology, practice and theory I've experienced - making and thinking in fluid interaction
