Biography
I was born and bred in the Otago/Southland region, and attended the University of Otago, where I gained my PhD in Psychology. I have been working for the College of Education since then. I teach mainly in the distance programme, working with postgraduate students. My papers usually focus on an aspect of the use of information and communication technology in education, although I also teach quantitative research methods, and in a range of other areas. My recent research projects have focused on the experience of distance students: both our own College of Education distance postgraduate students and also secondary school students who are involved in distance learning using videoconferencing and other technologies.
