Mike Johnson is a Lecturer in Information Management and Teaching at Cardiff University’s School of Healthcare Sciences, UK. He was first introduced to phenomenology during his teacher training in Bath in 1997. 20 years on, his PhD thesis project required a return to the likes of Heidegger, which, in the light of his longstanding commitment to the networked learning conference community, caused him to notice a gap in the take up of phenomenological concepts and methodologies in networked learning research. His pioneering research has delved deep into the digital interactions of healthcare students, unveiling their unique experiences of using mobile phones for academic work. Mike's approach to teaching is innovative and grounded, blending an acute insight into knowledge work with information technology to emphasize the purposeful and critically reflective adoption of technological tools in the academic landscape.Felicity Healey-Benson is Lead Researcher and Entrepreneurial Learning Champion at the International Institute for Creative Entrepreneurial Development, University of Wales Trinity St David, UK.
