My published research has explored how online students conceptualise the university, the ways that students use sound to negotiate space for learning, and the impact of learning technologies upon the spatial and temporal configurations of the university. I have also argued the case for multimodal feedback around assessment, and explored how digital technologies and mobile learning can help us to understand our urban surroundings. My recent published work concerns the postdigital learning spaces of higher education and proposes the use of music playlists as an ethnographic method. I am a co-author of the Manifesto for Teaching Online and I run the Elektronisches Lernen Muzik project where the relationship between music and learning is explored through playlists.
At the current time (January 2023), I am course organiser for the postgraduate courses Learning Spaces and Digital Technologies, Education and Digital Culture and The Future of Learning Organisation. I am supervising PhD projects that explore the educational possibilities of sound, and am keen to hear from prospective PhD candidates looking to undertake research in this area, as well as projects that explore the relationship between learning spaces and digital technologies. Before all of this I was assistant director at Lothians Equal Access Programme for Schools where I helped young people from non-traditional backgrounds to gain entry to higher education.
