Overview

This interdisciplinary group at the Faculty of Education investigates young people's learning, meaning making and identity construction in multiple contexts and via mixed media.

Aims

We aim is to problematise children and young people's knowledge construction as a social practice both inside and outside of school and in formal and informal learning contexts. We aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the various forms of digital technologies are employed in learning in multiple contexts and through learner's own productions using contemporary digital technologies.

Methods

A variety of qualitative and quantitative research methods are used in this interdisciplinary Group. For InterMedia this includes production based design, development and analysis of wiki based web mediation of the group via a shared website and one of our projects into the collaborative design, use and reflection of mobile fiction.
