Biography:
| Lizbeth is Professor of Inclusive Design for Education and Chair of Creative Technology Innovation at University College Dublin, where she is an Executive Board member of the Innovation Academy, and has recently been put forward to the EC as the Digital Champion for Research and Digital Inclusion for Ireland. Lizbeth founded the SMARTlab in its first iteration in 1993, and has developed the award winning practice-based PhD Programme through the institute, along with the associated MAGIC Multimedia and Games Innovation Centre and Gamelab, which Lizbeth designed with industry collaborators as a prime knowledge transfer space in the London docklands.Lizbeth and her teams specialise in developing ground-up technology solutions for people of all levels of cognitive and physical ability, from mainstream learners of all ages to 'special' and 'gifted' learners and lifelong learners in the developed and developing worlds. In all her work, she applies a universal design method to practice-based innovation to transform lives through providing unlimited access to education and tools for creative expression. Prior to joining UCD, Lizbeth was Director of Research for Futurelab Education, working with David Puttnam's team to establish innovative platforms for the future of education in a context of global change. She is known as an expert in Digital Inclusion, including learning models for communities at risk. She is an award-winning advocate of community-based ethical learning and teaching models using interactive tools and games to inspire and engage learners of all ages. She specialises in working with people who do not have physical voices (whether due to disability, injury, illiteracy, or other social/political factors), enabling the use of new creative technologies for expression vocally, in writing, and with movement and music. |
Research Interests
| Originally trained in Literature, Drama and Philosophy, and active for many years as a professional performer (dancer, live artist and broadcaster) and TV-radio-convergent media researcher/presenter with BBC Interactive Media/Education and the Open University, Lizbeth has published widely in the areas of Digital Inclusion, performance technologies, e-learning, connected learning, embodied learning, social networking for community engagement, social entrepreneurship models in ICT, and games for learning. In this regard, she co-developed several ground-breaking teaching and learning tools and games with significant take up worldwide, which have led to the foundation of several successful charities for women and children at risk.
