About Vic Lally
I’m a writer, researcher and academic whose main interest is human learning: its ‘design’, philosophy and ethics, as well as the cultural and political contexts of learning. I’m particularly interested in collaborative learning designs as a way of supporting human creativity and development.
I have researched and co-developed many collaborative designs, including projects for the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC, UK) and Higher Education Funding Council (HEFCE, England). I am based at the University of Glasgow, UK, where I am Director of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Research and Teaching in STEM Education (though these are my personal pages, not university ones).
My research activities are in the fields of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) and learning in three-dimensional and mobile environments. I have written over 100 papers and articles, and been Director/co-director of 17 national and international projects, as well as editing/co-authoring 4 books. I have worked extensively in China and Europe, and am currently developing a collaborative professional development programme with colleagues in South Africa and Malawi. My latest project, ‘Inter-Life’ (ESRC/EPSRC – 2008-2011 under the Technology Enhanced Learning Programme) is a key investigation of the learning of life transition skills by young people, using highly innovative three-dimensional online tools and environments, and a range of analytical techniques that I have researched and developed in an extensive programme.
I am presently adding recent conference papers, selected papers from my journal publications, book chapters, and recent projects (see links above). These sections are ‘a work in progress’ but I am getting them up-to-date as quickly as possible. I am also adding entries from the WorldCat catalogue, Google Books links and University of Glasgow ‘e-print’ links to downloadable articles so that you can locate and read items as easily as possible.
