Research Interest

My work on the Dundee Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (DLIC) has fostered an interest in self regulated learning as a professional skill and how technology does or does not complement that process. I have taken a brief foray into qualitative research and investigated the DLIC students use of and perceptions of the electronic platform created for them. This has been written up as a poster (see media section).
