Thematic areas, approaches, and funded projects

Research Areas

My research is organized around four interconnected thematic areas, all linked by a central concern: a critical, reasoned, and responsible use of digital technology in education.

Critical thinking and information literacy (metaliteracy) education in the digital world

Critical thinking frameworks, metaliteracy, information credibility assessment, and education against misinformation.

Instructional design and educational technology in postsecondary education

Design of learning environments, faculty professional development, and digital learning in postsecondary education.

Pedagogical impact of disruptive educational technologies

Educational uses and effects of emerging technologies, first and foremost generative artificial intelligence.

Environmental impact of educational technologies

Digital sufficiency and consideration of the environmental footprint of technologies in education.

Methodological and Theoretical Approaches

  • Quantitative and mixed methods — instrument validation, mixed-methods designs.
  • Sociocritical approach to digital technology — social, political, and ethical dimensions of technology in education.
