Editorial Positions
Current Research
Knowledge Media Design is a transdisciplinary research field centred around the design of media-based objects to support the construction, transmission and acquisition of knowledge. In broad terms, this field might be characterised as “learning technology” but it transcends the narrow confines of pedagogical research to include information storage, transmission and retrieval more generally and the autonomous knowledge construction behaviours characteristic of researchers. The beneficiaries and subjects of such research thus range from passive information receivers though guided active learners to self-managing knowledge builders.
This research is applied and developmental rather than clinical. It aims to understand and apply design principles and understanding of media technologies in the context of this broad spectrum of knowledge types and user populations. The work draws on and contributes to research in new media design, computing, information design, multimedia, ergonomics, and learning technologies.
