I lecture in Initial and Further Teacher training programs within the Faculty of Education at the University of Malta. I specialise in Robotics and AI in education, ICT Policy analysis, Internet Research Design and the socio-cognitive processes that define development and emergence of new behaviours at the human/computer interface.
I am interested in the construction and evaluation of socio-cognitive models that analyse individual and group perceptions regarding usefulness and usage of technology in terms of cognitive instrumental processes and social influence. I am also interested in the implementation of technologies in organisations and the underlying processes in Digital Leadership skills.
I use my expertise to analyse trends within internet employment as part of the Web 2+ phenomena for innovations in e and m-learning platforms digital and media literacy.
