Welcome

This is the website of TERG – the Technology and Education Research Group.

The group is hosted in the School of Computing and Communications, in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) faculty, at the Open University (UK).

Members of the group are interested in:

  • The use of technology for learning
  •  The teaching and learning of computing, communications and technology.

Our research is informed by our own practice at The Open University. It draws on our strong record of teaching innovation and the substantial expertise that we have established in this area. The increasing prevalence of elearning and social approaches to learning mean that our work is central to current educational debates.


The 2020 Covid 19 pandemic meant that universities needed to quickly move to online learning. We put together some guidance and resources to help educators make this move.
