Using glyphs to associate digital media with physical materials has great potential to enhance learning. A key challenge, however, lies in enabling children to author their own glyphs that integrate well with their drawings. One possible solution lie...

Engaging with energy reduction: Does a climate change frame have the potential for achieving broader sustainable behaviour? (2013)
Journal Article
Spence, A., Leygue, C., Bedwell, B., & O'Malley, C. (2014). Engaging with energy reduction: Does a climate change frame have the potential for achieving broader sustainable behaviour?. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 38, 17-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2013.12.006

Reducing energy use is key in meeting ambitious climate change targets being set around the world. This research considers the psychological impact, and potential for behavioural spillover, resulting from receiving energy information framed in terms...

Journal Article
Barber, S., Jackson, C., Akhtar, S., Bingham, D., Ainsworth, H., Hewitt, C., …Wright, J. (2013). Pre-schoolers in the playground: an outdoor physical activity intervention for children aged 18 months to 4 years old: study protocol for a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial. Trials, 14(1), Article 326. https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-14-326

Background: The pre-school years are considered critical for establishing healthy lifestyle behaviours such as physical activity. Levels of physical activity track through childhood into adulthood, thus establishing habitual physical activity early i...

Systematic Reviews, 2(1), Article 28. https://doi.org/10.1186/2046-4053-2-28

Background: The aim of these reviews is to inform the design and content of interventions to reduce obesity in young children. The behaviors that are associated with obesity/overweight have been studied extensively; however, the factors associated wi...

Can a social networking site support afterschool group learning of Mandarin? (2013)
Journal Article
Yang, Y., Crook, C., & O'Malley, C. (2014). Can a social networking site support afterschool group learning of Mandarin?. Learning, Media and Technology, 39(3), 267-282. https://doi.org/10.1080/17439884.2013.839564

Schools are often encouraged to facilitate extra-curricular learning within their own premises. This study addresses the potential of social networking sites (SNS) for supporting such out-of-class study. Given concerns that learning on these sites ma...
