Dr Ruth Wood

About

My research interests involve the pedagogy of educational technology, more specifically, the interface between learner, teacher and the technology including the design and use of multimedia and multimodal forms of communication in a range of education settings. Challenges associated with the design, development and implementation of technological innovations and the potential role of the teacher and learner remain central, active ingredients of my research.
