Teaching
Dr Hord teaches across postgraduate programmes within the School of Architecture at the University of Liverpool. Her modules focus on BIM theory, information management, interoperability, and digital transformation, helping students connect academic theory with real-world project application.
Her teaching approach integrates role-play and scenario-based learning to help students understand the flow of information and decision-making across collaborative digital environments. She places particular emphasis on inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that complex digital concepts are approachable for students from varied professional and cultural backgrounds.
