He is an award-winning educator, a Fellow of the Australian Learning and Teaching Council, and has more than 20 years’ experience and expertise in teaching students via the Internet. He has written widely on topics in this field, focusing primarily on the way in which Internet technologies cannot be used as “tools” to improve learning but are part of the dialogic experience of shared learning and teaching between students and academics. He is also a leading researcher of social consequences and meanings of the Internet, most recently publishing highly-cited work on the history of the Internet, focused on the origins, impact, and end of the so-called “web 2.0” period of Internet development. He is also a former President of the Association of Internet Researchers and helped internationalize the Association in its early years. His current research projects include consideration of the profound importance of the “Chinese Internet,” especially as it becomes a site of global political contestation; the recent history of the lived experience of broadband deployment in Australia; and the philosophical and cultural complexities of regulation of Internet content, conduct, and consequences.
