Personalisation of Learning: Constructing an Interdisciplinary Research Space
Project Member(s): Solomon, N.
Funding or Partner Organisation: The Economic and Social Research Council (Economic & Social Research Council (UK))
Start year: 2006
Summary: The focus of this research is on the personalisation of learning using digital artefacts with adult learners. The project team comprises researchers from a range of subject and disciplinary areas: social sciences, education, computer science, informatics, and business. Each has a different kind of expertise, experience and interest in the topic. The bringing together of this team highlights the importance of the usefulness of interdisciplinarity when approaching research in TEL. However the project team also recognises the complexities and contestations when working with a team with various knowledges, theories and investments. Therefore, the project team will use the collaborative research process that is the interdisciplinary workings of the team, as a parallel setting for exploration.
