I did a BSc in Philosophy & Psychology (Leeds UK & York Canada), then trained to teach (IoE, Uni of London) which I did for a year (alongside an MA in Philosophy of Education), I then did an MPhil in Education at Cambridge looking at collaborative use of search engines, and am moving on to a PhD at the OU in a similar area. I research the relationship between views on 'knowledge', and how individuals and policies deal with information/knowledge (focussing on search engines). This is interesting in the context of OER given high quality resources might be there, but access alone is probably not enough.

I curate at Scoop.it on search engines, information literacy and information retrieval in educational contexts.

I blog for Nominet Trust on bits of my research and ICT in society.

And I have a general website (not always up to date) here.
