Our research explores the ways in which accessible technologies can be harnessed to improve professional learning for frontline workers in health and education, often in challenging circumstances. Our research aims to strengthen professional networks and improve professional practices and outcomes.
Our research emphasises the social practices, contexts, and purposes which frame the use of technologies – including digital tools – for professional learning. We use a variety of theoretical lenses through which to interrogate professional practice where technologies are used to create, access, or assess professional learning opportunities in health and education.
