My research interests lies in the design and the evaluation of Technology-Enhanced
Learning (TEL) environments. Over the last couple of years, I have conducted several
research projects in various areas: Participatory Design, 3D Dynamic Geometry,
(Open) Learner Modelling, Multi-Representations Learning Environments, Life-long
Learning, and Auditory Perceptual Learning. I have been working in
inter-disciplinary contexts, tackling some of the key questions and problems of
learning technologies from a predominantly computer science perspective.
Two threads
characterise my research agenda: 1) the role, usage and impact of external
representations in learning and, 2) transforming learning experiences into
transferable knowledge.
The Leeds Institute of Medical Education (LIME) within the School of Medicine have
seen a growing use of Technology Enhanced Learning for the last 5 years, with over
3000 students using mobile devices as part of their undergraduate medical education.
The project aimed at exploiting this achievement further by delivering personalised
feedback on learning and assessment to live cohorts, as well as supporting building
capacity in TEL across the Faculty.
