He has particular interests in widening participation, open educational practice and distance learning.
As Depute Director at the OU in Scotland he was involved with developing projects across a broad spectrum, including external partnerships and research in areas of widening participation, college/university transitions, employability, skills, work-based learning, Open Educational Practice, and e- and blended learning.

OEPS was a cross-sector project involving both the formal and informal education sectors and was distinctive in considering the creation and use of open educational resources (OER), and in particular the use of open courses, through a social justice lens.
