Research projects
My research interests include Mathematics Education, e-Learning and e-Assessment and Lifelong Learning. The recent MINT Project about the Mathematical Identity of students aimed to identify ways how experience with learning Mathematics can be harnessed to improve learning and development of mathematical, logical and critical thinking skills. The project involved academics from Trinity College, University Limerick, DCU (St.Patrick’s College Drumcondra) and Queens University Belfast (Stranmillis University College). It was funded by SCoTENS.
