My research expertise is in the field of Technology-Enhanced Learning. I have been investigating the use of novel educational technologies for enhancing personalised learning, self-regulated learning, lifelong learning, as well as open education. I am currently working on the transformative applications of Generative AI and decentralisation blockchain technology in the context of online and distance education.
