Welcome to the Learning Sciences Research Institute.
We conduct research into the cognitive, social and cultural aspects of learning, to enhance education through the design of innovative technologies and environments for learners.

The LSRI brings together staff expertise from the founding Schools of Computer Science, Education and Psychology, as well as links to other disciplines.

The University has funded a major expansion of the Institute with new staff, research labs and facilities, under the Academic Director, Professor Mike Sharples.

Featured PhD Student

Nabeel Choudhry. A young person’s disengagement in education is a powerful indicator of future success and well-being. As this number grows, the social effects have become evermore visible. Numerous creative and sporting activities have been initiated to reengage young people, raise their aspirations and encourage positive life choices. For my PhD I will be looking at the use of Creative Digital Media projects as a tool for intervention, treatment and change. Go to: Nabeel Choudhry
