Michael is a Research Associate on the ENSEMBLE (‘Semantic Technologies for the Enhancement of Case-Based Learning’) project. He has a background in Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Science, and has studied learning in real-world contexts (Medical Schools, Management and Law courses, Science departments). His approaches to study learning and education range from the cognitive to the analysis of knowledge construction in small-group learning (dialogue analysis, verbal analysis) to the ethnographic study of educational practices and through participant observation. He has also been involved in designing learning, in particular case- and problem-based learning for Medical and Law education, and a variety of other domains; and in developing technology for education (web-based distance learning, Semantic Web technologies)
