My profile

Herbert Thomas


Professional background

I taught English at secondary school level for a number of years before moving on to lecturing at a college of education and then lecturing English at a university. During this time, I became interested in ways in which technology could be harnessed in order to improve the quality of learning and teaching. This interest took me into the fields of 'instructional design' and 'e-learning', as they existed at the time. I am currently employed as Electronic Learning Media Team Leader at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.

Education

Directly after leaving school, I completed a B.A. Hons degree, specializing in English Literature. Later, this was followed by an M.A. in General Linguistics and a Ph.D. in Technology-integrated Learning.


My interests

Professional

I have professional interests in the theoretical basis of learning, the future of learning spaces and education as complexity.


Personal

I also have a passing interest (very passing ...) in technology and change, paleoanthrapology, ancient civilizations, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and pretty much everything else relating to the destiny of humanity (if it exists).
