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? [can we make this a less broad and more researchable question?]

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?
