Biography

Associate Professor Brendan Jacobs began his career in education as a primary school teacher working for 17 years in Australia and the United States. Towards the end of this time he published a pioneering multimodal PhD dissertation through the University of Melbourne in 2015. Since entering academia he has published widely in academic journals and spoken at various international conferences about learning and technology and how these two areas can be mutually informative in the emerging area of digital scholarship. Brendan is currently conducting a longitudinal study investigating how project-based learning can promote, sustain and embody an integrated STEM curriculum (www.silo.edu.au).
