Biographical details
I am a professor inthe Sydney School of Education and Social Work, an co-director of the Centre for Research on Learning & Innovation (CRLI).
My primary research areas have been cognitive learning research with a focus on educational computing, multimedia-based and knowledge-based learning environments, e-learning, and the development of evaluation and assessment methods for the effectiveness of computer-based technologies. Current research activities comprise among other issues the analysis of individual and group problem solving/learning processes and possible support by means of ICT, and analysis of the use of mobile IT in informal learning settings (outdoors, in museums, etc.).
I have extensive teaching experience in the areas of experimental psychology, cognitive science, methods of cognitive science, the psychology of emotion and motivation, instructional psychology, developmental psychology. Extensive research experience and responsible for a number of projects in the areas of instructional psychology (in particular the use of computers in schools and for adult education /training) and cognitive psychology (learning, problem-solving). Ample practical experience in the design and evaluation of hypermedia systems, simulation environments and intelligent tutors for teaching and training, in the evaluation of multimedia authoring programmes, in the use of several symbolic programming languages and expert systems development shells.
In addition to my academic work, I also worked as a reviewer for the IT R&D programs of the European Commission in various selections and projects. I have been the founder of a small consulting Germany-based elearning consulting company and been involved in a number of European Commission-funded R&D projects. From 2003 to 2010, I co-direct the CoCo research centre at the University of Sydney, which has grown to 20+ researchers and PhD students, and between 2005 and 2010, directed the ICT unit of the Faculty of Education and Social Work.
I am always looking for PhD students who want to work with me on challenging topics in the learning sciences. An interest in multidisciplinary research, advanced methods, and the willingness to find as many new problems as solutions are required.
