• Research Interests:
My research focuses on the examination of computer-based learning. One set of questions concerns the relationship between the characteristics of computer-presented information and learning of that information; for example, to what extent do multimedia presentations, with sound and moving
images, promote or impede learning? Another related area of interest is in the construction of computer-based materials to promote more advanced thinking and problem-solving skills. As part of the research training, Masters students will learn how to build PowerPoint presentations, create and edit digital movies and build web sites. We also read and discuss relevant learning theories Subjects are run
in a computer lab on the seventh floor of the NAC.
