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.

LEAD. The LEAD project is about computer-mediated communication during face-to-face discussions within existing school settings. The LEAD project aims to change face-to-face interactions, taking into account the social, cognitive, developmental processes that make a difference during this form of technology-enhanced learning.

Featured PhD Student

Giulia Gelmini

Giulia Gelmini Hornsby. My research investigates how technology can help young children make and tell stories together. Oral literacy is a central component of early primary education. Specifically, the acquisition of discourse forms and strategies for presenting information in a suitable way for an audience is becoming a more and more valued skill in schools. Because children in the primary school often work together in pairs or small groups, I focus on dyads and triads of children making and telling stories together. This research focuses on how to support children’s active participation in story-making and story-telling. Go to: Giulia Gelmini Hornsby's homepage
