Research interests
I have a wide range of interests in digital and online learning. I am interested in the experiences of teachers and learners in spaces that are online, offline and somewhere in between.
I have been fortunate to supervise undergraduate, Masters and PhD research students and published on a range of topics with students and colleagues. Some of these areas include Open and Distance Learning, Educational Technologies and platforms, Virtual Learning Environments, AI in Education, Computing Education and Computational Thinking, Open Source Software in Education, MOOCs, eAssessment, Online learning for refugees and migrants, trust in online learning, visual data literacy in learning dashboards, systematic literature reviews in digital learning,
