This Steve Draper is an academic in the Psychology School at the University of Glasgow, in Scotland. I have done research on HCI (Human Computer Interaction), IR (Information Retrieval), on using technology in learning and teaching and how to evaluate that; but now focus almost entirely on theory and practice of learning and teaching in HE. My teaching is mainly on education issues in HE, and on positive psychology. I have lived in a London suburb (where I grew up), Brighton, San Diego, and Glasgow, with brief periods in rural South Africa (near Eshowe) and New Haven, Connecticut. (Wrong page or person or place? Here are some sideways links to alternative and contrasting people and entities that might be what you were looking for.)
My web pagesI've got extensive web pages, with most things I've written since 1999. Currently the biggest areas are probably:
Other ways to access my web pagesMost of what I've done is on my web pages in one way or another, so a quick google may get you there.However when I'm using that method to re-find something it is surprising what keywords I would now use do not find the page I'm thinking of. Almost everything substantial that I've written is there, mixing publications and unpublished things. A lot of the latter was aimed not at journals but at potential adopters of educational ideas and methods i.e. dissemination. Quite a bit of my teaching may be there, but in latter years these were hidden in learning environments so its patchy and not well indexed.
