Maggi’s blog

I was educated at The University of Brunel and The University of London and I have worked in both pre and post 1992 universities in the UK over the course of my career. Now Director of the Learning Innovation Group at Coventry University I am leading a team of researchers, PhD students and innovators. Over the last 20 years I have pioneered work on the use of problem-based learning nationally and internationally and continues to stimulate debate in this area.

To date I have published six books on problem-based learning, my seventh book entitled Learning Spaces was published in December 2007. In 2010 I published a further 3 books, two on qualitative research, A Practical Guide to Qualitative Research Synthesis and New approaches to qualitative research (Routledge); the third is entitled A Practical Guide to using Second Life in Higher Education (McGraw Hill). I recently completed an MSc in e-learning at The University of Edinburgh and I am learning to snowboard. I have just completed my 11th book - on Qualitative Research Methods, with Claire Major, which can be found here.
