Current Work

I joined IET as chair of e-learning in April 2006. Previously I was Professor of Educational Innovation in Post-Compulsory Education at the University of Southampton. I have research interests in the use, integration and evaluation of Information and Communication Technologies and e-learning and impact on organisational change.

Before joining Southampton, I was Director of the Institute for Learning and Research Technology at the University of Bristol, a centre of excellence on the development and use of information and communication technology in education.

I have research, development and project management experience across the educational and technical domains; funding sources have included HEFCE, ESRC, EU and commercial sponsors. Current projects include the JISC-funded learner experience project, PB-LXP with Mary Thorpe and the ESRC TLRP Technology-Enhanced Learning project, PI led by Eileen Scanlon and Mike Sharples. Institutionally I am working on an OU Learning Design Project. Past projects include the JISC LXP Learner Experience Proect, the HEFCE-funded E-Learning Research Centre, the JISC/NSF funded DialogPlus digital libraries project and the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods.
