Abstract
In this issue the editorial space has been given over to a tribute to David Squires. The review below gives an outline of some of his research interests and his substantial contributions to learning technology. In the last issue, as an experiment, we invited comments on the paper by Davies and Denning. The idea behind this was to try and encourage more discussion around papers and to look at introducing a more interactive element to the journal. We will postpone this now until the next issue. If you would like to contribute to this debate, please email comments to g.conole@bristol.ac.uk by Friday, 14 December. Finally, I would like to welcome Dr Jane Seale and Dr Martin Oliver to the editorial team. Jane is based at King's College, London and is also editor for ALT-N. Martin is based at University College, London and has extensive editorial experience. I am looking forward to working with them both over the next few years.DOI:10.1080/0968776010090301
Highlights
His research history shows a commitment over twenty years to scholarly work in the use of multimedia and information and communication technologies (ICT), in educational settings at both university and school level
A major, thrust of his research was to articulate a theoretical rationale for the design and use of educational multimedia
In December 1996 he hosted a British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Special Interest Group meeting on 'Usability and Educational Software Design'. He undertook a research fellowship with BT in 1999 on the design of an interface to a Web-based teachers' toolkit for open and distance learning. Another strand to his research was an exploration of the use of ICT in academic research, which included longitudinal analyses and case studies of the use of ICT by academics
Summary
His research history shows a commitment over twenty years to scholarly work in the use of multimedia and information and communication technologies (ICT), in educational settings at both university and school level. Particular interests included theories of learning and the design and evaluation of the use of multimedia and ICT in educational settings, and the use of ICT in academic research. His research was strongly linked to curriculum development through the design of multimedia learning materials for use in higher education and schools.
