Sally manages the Design and Development Centre (DDC) at the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand. DDC's role is to plan, design, develop and publish learning materials in a range of media. Sally manages teams of instructional designers, editors, project managers, educational technologists, Mac operators and graphic designers.

Since starting her professional life as a classroom teacher of modern languages, Sally has had 25 years experience in the field of open and distance education. Over a long period at the Correspondence School she worked as a teacher, course writer, audio editor, instructional designer, curriculum co-ordinator and project manager for course development. She was Manager, Educational Resources from 1991 to 2000. Sally has been a member of DEANZ since the early 80's, a national executive member since 1993 and was Vice President in 1999 and 2000.

Sally is especially interested in quality in learning materials - in all media - and in the provision of focused, targeted learning support for students. "Learning materials must be really accessible and 'do-able' for students, otherwise we undermine all the potential benefits of open and distance and flexible learning both for the student and for the provider."
