Matty Smith’s Summary
A lifetime of learning - as a learner, as an educator, as a facilitator of formal and informal learning. Understanding how to improve the learning opportunities available is a passion for me. I am especially interested in exploring how informal, contextual learning can be most effectively supported through the tools and resources most commonly available to learners.
My focus is on continuing to explore and experiment with innovative and inclusive approaches to learning, especially mediated through technology.
