Elizabeth Mary Ditzel (also Hall) is a New Zealand nursing academic, and is a full professor at the Otago Polytechnic, specialising in nursing education, curriculum development, and the use of new technology within the nursing curriculum.

Academic career

[edit]

Ditzel is a registered nurse, gaining her nursing qualifications through Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the UK. Ditzel also earned a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master of Commerce from the University of Otago.[1][2] Ditzel worked as a nurse and nurse educator at Dunedin Public Hospital before becoming a lecturer in management at the University of Otago. She supervised more than forty postgraduate students, and completed a PhD titled A study of perceived occupational stress, burnout and sense of community among New Zealand nurses at the university in 2008.[3] Ditzel then returned to nursing education, joining the faculty of Otago Polytechnic in 2010, and rising to full professor in 2019.[2][1]

Ditzel is interested in the use of new technology in nursing education, and has investigated the use of mixed-reality education, standardised holographic patients, and methods for improving critical thinking and clinical reasoning in nursing students.[2][4] She collaborated with colleagues Claire Goode, Karole Hogarth, and Jean Ross to investigate the use of video in health education, which was published as a chapter in the 2021 Springer book Video Pedagogy: Theory and Practice, edited by Dilani Gedera and Arezou Zalipour.[5][6]

In 2017 Ditzel was awarded a national teaching award, an Ako Aotearoa Award for Sustained Excellence in Tertiary Teaching.[4][7][8] The citation described her as "a ‘new paradigm’ thinker with a “modern approach”, committed to student-centred and innovative approaches to teaching and learning".[4]
