Recent and Current professional activities:
Rosamund Sutherland is a Professor at the Graduate School of Education in Bristol (UK) and she is currently Head of Department.

Her main research area is concerned with learning with new technologies in both informal and formal settings, with a particular focus on mathematics education. This research has been carried out within the complexity of ‘real’ classrooms in primary and secondary schools and FE colleges. She recently chaired a Royal Society committee reporting on Teaching and Learning Algebra which has been influential in terms of changes to the mathematics National Curriculum. Her research as part of the ESRC Screen-Play Project investigated the nature and extent of young people’s learning with computers in the home. Recent research as part of the ESRC InterActive Education project has been investigating the ways in ICT can be integrated into school subject cultures to enhance learning.

Recent projects she has directed include the following: Peer Group Discussion in a Computer Environment, Mathematical Competencies of GNVQ Science Students; The Role of Computers; Screen-play: an exploratory study of children in ‘techno-popular’ culture (ESRC); National Grid for Learning: Roll Out Evaluation of Pathfinder LEAs: Impact on Standards and Institutional Effectiveness (BECTa); InterActive Education: Teaching and Learning in the Information Age (ESRC); A Digital Approach to Distilling the Complexity of Teaching and Learning (ESRC).

  Recent and current professional activities:
Federica Olivero’s main research area is concerned with the mediating role played by new technologies, in particular in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Federica’s PhD addressed the problem of how a dynamic geometry software may support students in the approach to theoretical thinking, and in particular to proving in geometry. Since completing her PhD in 2003 she has been working on the InterActive Education project (www.interactiveeducation.ac.uk), focusing more broadly on the mediating role played by new technologies in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Her recent work includes a focus on the use of digital videos as methodological and analytical tools in classroom-based research. Federica has also been exploring the potentialities of a new form of publication, videopapers, in the context of the dissemination of research to both academics and practitioners.
