About the Project
I am particular interested in the use of new technology to support learning in a social context. I use a sociocultural theoretical framework and investigate learning across a wide range of context (e.g. in schools, at home in museums and online) and in a broad range of domains (e.g. cognitive, emotional and social domains). At present, I am particularly interested in the role of computer games to engage students in discourse and learning in science and technology.
