My PhD was in teaching and learning computer programming. Educational research remains my focus.

I enjoy action research withing the educational setting.  I focus on the interactions of teaching and assessment, and approaches to learning.

I am currently looking at the interactions between surface approaches to learning and the root causes of these being based in surface approaches to teaching, assessment and academic management.

I have a focus towards the use of technology in the information to knowledge building process.  For example will mobile devices and augmented reality succeed in producing deep immersive learning in a more adaptive manner than traditional e-learning.
