FUNDED RESEARCH

Kearney’s field of research is technology-enhanced learning (TEL). For many years, the rhetoric of TEL has promised great potential for future-oriented learning, but the reality often falls short. His research with colleagues (see Research Outputs tab, or Google Scholar link - LH column) has provided insights into effective digital pedagogies, and generated evidence-based, transformative digital approaches to learning, especially in school and teacher education contexts.

Pedagogical practices with new and emerging learning technologies
