Our research programme will be built from the analysis in the preceding sections. Currently the candidates for research questions the programme should address are as follows:

- How can the substance of learning be transformed by the design of adaptive systems that take account of the social and cultural embedding of learners?

- How might digital technologies afford pluralistic possibilities in epistemology  (what might be learned and how) and equity (by whom can it be learned and when?)

- In what ways can digital technologies be deployed to foster more open and accessible routes for learners throughout the life course?

- Can we design methodologies for exploring the possibilities of more productive learning, which is more successful and efficient in achieving its intended outcomes? 

- What are the social and cultural opportunities and constraints for the embedding of digital technologies in learning and teaching?

- How can technology be used to support every learner achieving their learning potential?

- How does TEL support the role of teaching, by the teacher, and by peers?

- How does technology support the process of 'negotiation of meaning’ in the context of learning?
