Automating support for learning, collaboration and knowledge building
 New digital
technologies and media are giving rise to increasing volumes and varieties of
information, presenting new opportunities for learning and knowledge. We seek
to make this information more useful by researching and developing techniques
for managing, integrating and personalising it. We are designing, building and
critically evaluating systems that help people to understand the mass of
information that surrounds them, and to generate knowledge from this
information. We seek to model and deploy the intelligence and knowledge that enables
computing systems to provide personalised support to learners for the range of
activities they engage in, individually or collaboratively.
Understanding how digital technologies and media affect educational practice, work, culture and society
 We are investigating and evaluating the cultural forms and modes of engagement between people and ideas that are fostered by the digital world, to understand the implications for formal and informal learning. We are designing technology and media-enhanced approaches to learning, including innovative uses of ambient, immersive and mobile technologies. We are exploring the differences between ënewí and ëolderí media. We are analysing how children and adults use media in different contexts and how they learn in and from these new environments.
Developing innovative methodologies for investigation of the use and effect of digital technologies
 To optimise the use of digital technologies for learning, we are developing and applying methodologies which match the complexity of a field that must use the science of human learning in order to inform the design and evaluation of digital environments and systems.
