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; augmented and virtual reality in education and work-integrated learning practices. 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 placements

- 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 coordinate and teach several courses in Bachelor and Master of Teaching Degrees, as well as supervise a range of doctoral candidates.

I lead the eLearning Program and also School Placements at 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 in the classroom.
