Technology permeates both what we learn, and how we learn.
Let me give you an example. In healthcare, colleagues at UTS have been investigating
how we can use sensor technologies and data analytics to support trainee nurse's teamwork
by providing real-time feedback on where they are and who they're working with. In parallel,
in the TRACK project we are using job analytics to understand the shifting skills changes
and showing in that healthcare contexts we are seeing increasing uses of many
of the same technologies to understand how to support patients, for example,
an emerging area of 'health informatics' which combines data and nursing skills.
Similarly, across learning contexts from schools and universities, to museums and online learning
communities, technology has implications for how we learn. For example, UTS researchers have
investigated how teachers learn from each other using informal communities like those on Facebook.
And again, centre researchers have investigated key issues such as
what teachers need to learn to use mobile devices effectively in their practice.
We want to understand how we can learn with technology effectively, how it is changing
learning needs across contexts, and the pros and cons - innovations and ethical quandaries,
new methods and challenges - that are involved in that. And we want to work with people who care
about learning to do that. Find out more about staying in touch, and who we are on our website.
