Dr Brett Bligh

Learning Research Systems Developer

Brett Bligh seeks to investigate visual methods which support communication between learners and tutors, either by allowing for the more effective interchange of ideas using innovative representations and mediating technology, or by allowing for the construction of arguments, narrative and ideas by harnessing visual approaches and technologies. Working with Multi-Display Environments such as PolyVision Thunder™, Brett seeks to promote more effective interaction between tutors and learners, and between learners themselves, in a variety of learning scenarios across a variety of course disciplines. Furthermore, Brett seeks to investigate the interface between tutors, learners, scaffolded scenarios and interactions, and the space within which the activity occurs. In keeping with these key interests, Brett's work on the use of video-editing for learning focusses simultaneously on students' learning of complex technical tools and their use of those tools to construct argumentation and narrative.
