Research project description

Shannon Kennedy-Clark is an ICT Pedagogy Officer on the Australian Teaching Teachers for the Future Project at the University of Sydney. Her research interests lie in game-based learning, discourse analysis and pre-service teacher training. Shannon is a lecturer in ICT in Education and Academic Communication at the University of Technology. She is in the final stages of her PhD on the use of games in computer-supported inquiry learning. Shannon managed the Education Development Unit and worked as a Learning Adviser at the Learning Centre at the University of New South Wales. Shannon lectured at Takushoku University in Tokyo for three years and before that she worked as a teacher.
