Dr Salomé Meyer came from South Africa to New Zealand in 2008. She has 15 years clinical nursing practice experience, and 17 further years in nursing education in South Africa. The last position in South Africa was as senior lecturer at the University of Pretoria in the Faculty of Health Sciences, and in New Zealand as senior lecturer at the Graduate School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health. Her teaching activities centered on the theory of education, bridging the theory-practice gap, curriculum development, leadership and adult education. She is interested in how lecturers facilitate learning, being creative in planning and implementing learning opportunities, using technology in learning, as well as the affective experiences of students in online learning environments. She was a visiting lecturer at the Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden and involved in exchange programmes of students from Sweden and the University of Pretoria from 2002 to 2008.

Salomé has published a number of accredited articles on the facilitation of learning in nursing, she is the first author of two text books (2009 and 2010) of which one is in its 3rd edition, and has presented at numerous conferences. She also serves on the review panels for two accredited journals.
