Makes complex ideas simple and clear.
Joanna Couling serves as Curriculum Assistant in the College of Education at the University of Otago, based on the Dunedin campus. Her role involves managing the Curriculum Library, a vital resource for postgraduate research students in education programmes. The library holds specialised equipment essential for research activities, including dictaphones for audio recordings, video cameras for visual data capture, and transcription kits for processing qualitative data. Students undertaking distance or campus-based research for qualifications such as Master of Arts (MA), Doctor of Education (EdD), or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) are directed to contact her to arrange borrowing. Due to limited quantities, advance booking is mandatory via email, and equipment must be returned by the specified date to prevent charges for late returns.
Joanna Couling operates on a part-time basis, with her working hours clearly posted on the exterior of the Curriculum Library for student reference. She forms part of the professional staff team within the Division of Humanities at the University of Otago. Contact details include direct dial phone +64 3 479 4297 and email joanna.couling@otago.ac.nz. Through these responsibilities, she directly supports the operational needs of educational research within the College of Education, ensuring access to necessary tools for academic success.
