Research and Teaching

In my research I focus on information management, the facilitation and evaluation of Information Literacy and Technology-Enhanced Learning, specifically Open Educational Resources (OER) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), usability and instructional design, gamification, learning in multilingual and multicultural contexts, and the design of flexible learning opportunities. Some selected recent projects are:
