My research (supervised by Andrew Manches and Michael Seery) is investigating the ways in which STEM students learn abstract scientific concepts requiring visuospatial imagistic reasoning and how this can be supported by digital technology.

Abstract
Lecture Recording for Inclusive Education
Dr Yuchen Wang
In July, we produced a mid-term report on the progress of the project. Some initial findings, based on the completed interviews with students and staff, are:
1) Students who inevitably miss lectures due to various reasons, such as childcare responsibilities, health issues or clashes of timetables, identify lecture recording as the most convenient and effective way to keep on track with their studies.
13th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning - SHEILA workshop
Yi-Shan Tsai, Research Associate
How long have you worked with the Centre?
I joined the team in 2016 to work on a cross-European project – SHEILA (Supporting Higher Education to Integrate Learning Analytics). Since 2018, I have started to work on two new projects: LALA (Building Capacity to Use Learning Analytics to Improve Higher Education in Latin America)and EMBED (Developing a European Maturity Model for Blended Education).
How do you see digital education and why do you think it's important?
We take a broad view of industry engagement that includes both public service delivery and policy advocacy along with the work of third sector organisations and private companies in a range of sectors. The benefits of researcher-industry collaboration can include service and policy improvement, developing skills and the development of new products.
