His interest range from the provision of automated feedback to students in traditional multiple choice exams to using data to evidence the acquisition of professional skills to professional accreditation bodies.

Yann enjoys mentoring his developing peers and was recently awarded a Senior Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy (UK).

Research Interests

My current research focusses on the evaluation of educational programs' performance against professional standards or other desirable outcomes. In particular, I am interested in evidencing and evaluating the acquisition of knowledge and skills as well as desirable attitudes in the professions. I use a range of evaluation and research methods, but I have specific interest in psychometrics using a combination of methods, including Classical Test and Item Response Theories.
