Research Interests

Large-scale, long-term learner models supporting flexible curriculum definition:

An University Degree is bound by many internal and external syllabus requirements (graduate attributes, generic skills, professional skills, accreditation competencies). These requirements come from many different sources (University, Faculty, School & external bodies like ACM, ASC, IEEE, EA, etc.). They are defined in different terminology, but are often semantically related. The core and elective subjects part of a degree must satisfy all of these requirement sets, but the semantic mappings and relationships are missing in current systems. We intend to apply open learner modeling techniques and Web 2.0 technologies to develop a curriculum mapping system that addresses these problems and allows for flexible user introspection of complex curriculum information.
