Dr. Jack Whitehead, University of Bath visited DCU on Wednesday 16 May. His visit was organised as part of the eLife Connecting People project - a Learning Innovation project by Dr. Margaret Farren and Ms. Yvonne Crotty, Education Studies.

The students presented the innovative eLearning research work that they are carrying out in their workplaces. The purpose of eLife Connecting People Project is to share the e-media accounts of practitioner-researchers on the M.Sc Education and Training Management (eLearning strand) as they ask, research and answer the question, 'how do I improve my practice?'. Dr. Whitehead has developed a 'living educational theory' approach to research.
