My research interests span the breadth of educational technologies, with a particular focus on: artificial intelligence in education; personalised mobile technologies and their impact on learning and teaching; school culture and change; augmented and virtual reality in education. I have a range of research projects underway pertaining to these interests.

 

My current projects include:

- Evaluating the early impact of generative artificial intelligence on teaching and learning 

- Measuring the impact of personalised technologies programs on initial teacher education and on digital capabilities

- Investigating whether there is a statistical association between ATAR and screen time

- Historical research on the relationship between pedagogies and technologies

- Exploring the comparative impact of multiple choice tests and branched scenario assessments

- Investigating the impact of campus closure on online learning engagement

I am currently leading the eLearning Program in the School of Education at the University of Adelaide. The eLearning Program is working to embed personalised technologies throughout the Bachelor of Teaching degree in order to help inspire and equip early-career teachers to use technologies to improve student learning.

I also teach and coordinate courses in the Bachelor of Teaching program and the Master of Teaching program, as well as overseeing school placements.
