In building our understanding of learning across a variety of context and with a diversity of media, we refer to a range of resources from within our projects as well as from related projects, programmes and websites.

This section includes the following resources:

Related projects and sites

The London Knowledge Lab. Bringing together computer and social scientists from a very broad range of fields (education, sociology, culture and media, semiotics etc.) the London Knowledge Lab offers a resourceful website for anybody interested in learning and technology.

The Mixed Reality Laboratory (MRL) at the UniversityofNottingham is a dedicated studio facility where computer scientists, psychologists, sociologists, engineers, architects and artists collaborate to explore the potential of ubiquitous, mobile and mixed reality technologies to shape everyday life. Their research is interdisciplinary and their website of interest to anyone concerned about how new technologies are experienced by people in the real world.

Futurelab, a not-for-profit organisation comprising a broad range of researchers and projects, seeks to transform the way people learn. Tapping into the huge potential offered by digital and other technologies, they develop innovative resources and practices that support new approaches to learning for the 21st century. On their site you will find a lot of good resources, including many reports on issues relevant to the Transaction research group.

With many different projects and intersections, this will soon be a rich list of resources for the group and for the faculty.

Working papers

Transactions will develop a series of working papers as a way of circulating draft texts and work-in-progress across the many projects in the group.

Video material

These will be featured in the timeline on the front page as well as in the blog and project level entries.

Main conferences

Given the size and diversity of the group, but with many shared interests, this will be a valuable resource of local and international conferences. Transactions members will post blog entries on conferences attended.

Working bibliography

This will grown over time and will entered into a relational database..
