Working, Learning, and Technology

My research is on interactive systems design from a socio-technical and learning perspective, and sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction and educational technology.
Socio-technical design means that technologies don't work on their own. Rather, the whole socio-technical system in which they are placed needs to work in harmony. My perspective on learning is that humans learn through and are shaped by the activities they carry out. I study how technology can support (or hinder?) learning as interwoven and connected to all other human activities.
My technology focus is on data analytics and AI-enabled technologies. I use methods from user-centered and contextual design; and carry out experimental studies, design studies and field studies. Analysis methods are qualitative, quantiative, and data analytics based when log data are available and meaningful.

I have been, amongst other things, subcommittee and associate chair at the ACM CHI, president of the International Alliance to Advance Learning in the Digital Era, and member of the European Association for Technology-Enhanced Learning's managing committee.
