Research areas
Research focuses on the development and use of pedagogically practical digital historical resources and on developing an understanding of how teachers reason pedagogically when using digital historical resources. This work includes designing digital historical materials that take into account pedagogical issues related to access, searching, document manipulation, and the interpretation of materials. The work also involves the investigation of how teachers and students construct historical knowledge when using digital historical materials and how they present their knowledge (in the form of arguments) from research using digital historical resources.
