Biography

I am told that there is a fine line between education & entertainment. Infotainment. I plan to walk that line finely. We live in an era where more than ever before, we are all connected through technology. Technology has the power to transform education from two dimensions, to immersive learning experiences. At the same time, technology has led to overstimulation and resulted in shortened attention spans. Dr Sat Dushy is an Educator at the University of Melbourne (UoM) & Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre. She specialises in the use of new and engaging technologies in online education in Cancer Sciences and leads the development of the new, wholly online Master of Cancer Sciences program. She completed her PhD and Masters through the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and UoM.
