A passion for improving learning through the use of technology is what motivates Charles Sturt University (CSU) academic, Associate Professor of Education Barney Dalgarno, who's been recognised with a national award. Professor Dalgarno is Associate Dean of Curriculum, Learning and Teaching with CSU's Faculty of Education in Wagga Wagga, and has been made a Fellow of the Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education (ascilite). The prestigious award recognises his contribution over the past 17 years in research, practice and leadership in technology and learning in higher education, and puts him in the company of some of the world leaders in technology and learning. "There's often a tendency for people to jump on the band-wagon when it comes to new technology," said Professor Dalgarno. "But it's important think about the way people learn and to consider if this new technology will allow them to do that in a different way." Professor Dalgarno was awarded Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning from the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) in 2007 and 2011. Read more on CSU News here.
