Technology is a rapidly growing area of interest for educational research and teaching. Therefore the ways in which technology is applied to educational contexts is an issue of concern for students, schools, tertiary providers and the community. These current issues form a key area of research which has several areas of interest such as:

• The use of mobile technology in education
• E-learning
• Virtual communities
• Supporting collaborative learning in geographically distributed contexts

A key role of the Key Research Area (KRA) of Technology in Education will be to support research across these 4 interest areas, and to contribute to the creation of a diverse and prolific research culture at the Institute of Education.
