EVS

I have been researching and promoting the use of electronic voting systems in higher education, as well as championing their use through my own teaching and teacher education, for well over ten years.

In October 2012 I became an International Distinguished Educator with Turning (formerly Turning Technologies), the first ever person globally to be awarded this accolade in the Arts and Humanities disciplines.

The below list illustrates the range of my activities over the years promoting the use of electronic voting systems in higher education and presenting my research in this area.
