Research Interests

His work has focused on three main areas:

• Teaching and learning outcomes arising from uses of leading edge technologies.
• How home and out-of-school practices can enhance and support learning at an individual pupil level.

Current research and writing includes:

• Preparation of a series of articles focusing on 'Technology Enhancing Learning', detailing evidence from a range of recent studies that have looked at how different technologies can enhance learning for different groups of young people
• Research studies looking at the impacts of e-mentoring on schools, teachers and learners, and the development and uses of on-line resources to support teaching and learning on the topic of climate change
• Research study looking at how BBC jam is used, and what impacts it has

Recently completed studies:

• Developing on-line resources to support teaching and learning about climate change, for WMnet RBC
