As part of our special series on emergent scholarship, Dr. George Veletsianos of Royal Roads University (Canada) discussed his experience as a renowned scholar working not only in the scholarship of discovery but also in teaching & learning, integration and application. George discussed the pressure points in his experience as a researcher, author, editor and committee member in the formation of knowledge, specifically where he saw obstacles and opportunities for the further development of emergent scholarship.
George is a Canada Research Chair in Innovative Learning and Technology at Royal Roads University, where he is a Professor in the School of Education and Technology. His research aims to understand and improve teaching, learning, and participation in emerging digital environments. His administrative, scholastic and blogging work can be found at veletsianos.com
