Research Interest
My research explores theories and practices of teaching and learning to design, implement and evaluate innovative technology enhanced learning experiences and environments. Current research focuses on contextual, collaborative, and creative mobile learning, and the performance of studies in human cognition and social interaction to design technologies and practices that support innovation in learning. My latest project involves the development of a framework to support collective collaborative creativity through the creation of Digital Narratives with mobile technologies.
