Much of my research is informed by practice through using web tools and technology in a creative way. I’ve delivered a number of workshops on using web media in the classroom, research and marketing. In addition to teaching and research, I’ve also been involved in several academic research projects where I’ve been involved in the design and build on a web portal or hub for the activity.
