I have a broad range of research interests and while most involve innovations in digital technology not all them do. For example, I am also very interested in the relationship between inquiry and the development of wisdom -- and during 2019-2020 I am part of a team researching how 'local wisdom' might inform the development of future curricula in school education. Another example is "open educational practices". While this term is often associated with many 'open' Internet trends (open source, open access, open educational resources, MOOCs, etc) 'openness' is being applied in other domains such as assessment, teaching, and peer review.
