Dr Kenneth Lim Nominated as EdTech Researcher Extraordinaire in Mobiles for Education Alliance Awards

Office of Education Research Research Scientist Dr Kenneth Y T Lim was nominated in the category of EdTech Researcher Extraordinaire at the Mobiles for Education Alliance inaugural awards. The Alliance is a non-governmental organisation focused on the evidence-driven and sustainable role of technology in education to advance quality educational outcomes. Formed in 2010, it is a platform for government and donor policymakers, researchers and practitioners to work together, particularly in lower-resource and developing country contexts.

His nomination was a result of his sustained and successful track record of helping teachers understand and align educational resources to learning goals. Beginning in 1992 with a book on sustainable environment practices to today, where Dr Lim has designed an immersive, scalable, multi-disciplinary and augmented reality experience for learning, his track record over the past 30 years speaks for itself. The inaugural awards were held on 11 February 2021, in conjunction with the tenth anniversary of the Alliance.
