Matthew's research and development interests are in the area of e-learning. He is a member of the Faculty's Designs for Learning research cluster. He recently completed the following funded projects (also see related papers):

1. Developing pedagogy using student-generated digital video with A/Prof. S. Schuck. (Funded by Apple Computers Australia and UTS Industry Links grant.)
2. Teachers as e-learning designers with 2 other colleagues. (Funded by ASCILITE Grant.)

His PhD thesis focussed on the the design and use of multimedia supported predict-observe-explain (POE) tasks in science learning. In 2002, he contributed to the ICT-based Learning Designs Project by describing the learning design behind multimedia-based POE tasks, and also by designing and developing (downloadable) POE e-shells - generic tools that can be used by educators to build their own multimedia-based POE tasks using a web page editor.
