Identify the enablers and barriers to context-appropriate use of e-learning systems in water education and training settings.
Assess the effectiveness of blended learning environments for water education and training programs.
Develop processes to include stakeholders as co-researchers, working with eWater CRC researchers to solve freshwater ecosystem management problems in a learning-based environment.

The research scope is very wide: namely, investigation of methods that work and do not work, to achieve specified learning outcomes.
