Mark Childs is a Senior Lecturer in Technology Enhanced Learning at Oxford Brookes University, UK, supporting staff in developing their digital capabilities. Mark has been working in higher education since 1995 as a researcher in the use of technology for learning and teaching. Mark’s main research area has been the study of learners’ experiences of synchronous technologies in higher education and the role of presence and embodiment in supporting learning in these. His PhD in education was completed in 2010.Robby Soetanto is Senior Lecturer in Construction Management at Loughborough University, UK. Prior to this, he held post-doctoral research posts at Wolverhampton and Loughborough Universities and lectured at Coventry University. His research has been funded by government bodies (EPSRC, EU, HEA, British Council) and private companies (Lloyds TSB and Hewlett Packard). He led Learning to Create a Better Built Environment and BIM-Hub projects, which focus on developing virtual collaboration skills of built environment students and provide the basis of the first part of this book.
