Associate Professor Schaverien is an active researcher in science and technology education, with a special interest in understanding the design of theoretically sound e-learning environments in a range of disciplines. In recent years, she has led two sizeable and successful Australian Research Council projects in which students and teachers respectively have designed acclaimed and radically innovative e-learning environments in which others can engage with scientific, technological and educational questions of high interest to them. In both these projects, designing and learning to design are of key interest at two levels: in participants’ shaping of the environments themselves and in researchers’ enactment of a research process to nurture and understand it. She has also led the design, development and teaching of a market-leading suite of postgraduate e-learning courses, in collaboration with her university’s Institute for Interactive Media and Learning.
