Aims

The overall aim of my PhD research have been to make an original contribution to knowledge through my practice, founded on an emerging theoretical and conceptual framework to guide decision making in the design of learner-centred, technology-enhanced education.

The individual, specific and diverse aims of my practice, connected with the 21 portfolio items selected for this thesis, are listed in the Claim section together with an assessment of my contribution to each item and their originality, impact and importance. Each is referenced in the text in the form [Cxx] and can be found with a full description in Appendix 1.

The Theoretical and Conceptual Framework attempts to show the development of coherence related to these aims, and sets out four key analyses which are referenced in the form [Axx].

“You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all... Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it we are nothing.” ― Luis Buñuel, 1982
