Amber’s PhD research deals with how the internet is changing the way we learn and create. Specifically, the work focuses on how users are creating their own digital narratives, learning behaviours, internet usage patterns and creative practices as a result of internet engagement.
Amber’s recent research informed practice, engages with the fast changing technological worlds of online convergence and networked culture through a series of wearable design solutions that evidence data visualisation as the instigator of creative innovation. The aim of the work is to realise the potential of creative technologies for the benefit of human interaction and the future development of new fields of creative practice. This research informs her teaching practice at every level and continues to inspire her sustained engagement with educational research and creative innovation.
