Bio: I am a British Academy Post-doctoral Research Fellow working at the Department of Information Studies at University College London, undetaking a three year Fellowship (2016-2019) examining the use of digital technology by people with Learning Disabilities (LD). This follows my recent PhD, which looked at how best to present and organise information on the Internet for this cohort. I have also undertaken much other similar LD work – for example, using QR codes in museums to tailor information studying the usability of a Virtual Learning Environment.
Other than my Learning Disability work, I have undertaken a considerable amount of research into the use and impact of the Internet in the fields of education generally, health, scholarly communication and the news media – first at City University and then at UCL, often doing collaborative work with colleagues at The Rix Centre, UEL (University of East London).-Academia.edu
