David Badger

David trained as a teacher and taught in rural high schools in South Australia before joining Flinders University in 1995 as computer network manager in the Dept of General Practice. In that role he became involved with the Cochrane Collaboration, training Cochrane reviewers in the use of Cochrane review software and managing the Cochrane Collaboration web site.
In 2001 he joined the staff of the Rural and Remote Health Unit headed by Paul Worley and was one of the early staff members of the Flinders University Rural Clinical School (FURCS) in 2003. His focus moved from computers to video production and the development of learning resources. In 2004 he relocated from Flinders Medical Centre to the FURCS headquarters in Renmark as Learning Resources Coordinator.
In 2007 he completed a Master in Flexible Learning through USQ in order to better support online education initiatives.
David has built up significant expertise in the use of videoconferencing for high quality teaching and administration within FURCS and the University. He has enjoyed developing training videos for several Community Point-of-Care programs and providing technical support for the annual QAAMS workshops since 2007.
