The LSRI has been awarded a $70,000 research grant from HP Technology to study how contextualised and collaborative learning can be supported by new technologies. Peta Wyeth, one of the investigators on the project, writes: "The aim of our project is to examine the effectiveness of mobile technology in facilitating integrated, flexible and contextualised learning experiences within a design-focussed discipline. We aim to develop technological solutions which provide opportunities for students to develop connections between theoretical knowledge and real-world processes by engaging in practical design activities across a range of contexts."
