About

I am Professor of Educational Technology at the Open University. My interests are in Digital Scholarship, open education and impact of new technologies. I’ve written some books, including The Digital Scholar and Battle for Open which are available under an open access licence. Other publications can be found here. I am also co-editor of the open access journal, JIME.

I am Director of the OER Research Hub, and the ICDE Chair in OER. I regularly provide workshops and keynote talks on the use of social media by academics, open education, and online learning.

I live in Cardiff, have a season ticket for Cardiff Devils ice hockey, am a “why don’t you give it up” runner, like John Carpenter movies but feel I should like Bergman and am very witty about 5 minutes after you’ve moved on to talk to someone else. I will drink tea, beer or wine with you and I have a nice range of Clash t-shirts.

I am mweller on most sites, or EdTechie [at] gmail
