Chris McKillop is currently a Ph.D. research student at Gray’s School
of Art where she is investigating the role of narrative in learning
through using storytelling to facilitate the reflective process. Her
research aims to give a deeper understanding of how students’ perceive
and use the assessment process in art and design; to develop
storytelling as a reflective method; and to investigate the extent to
which this process can be mediated in an online environment. She has
degrees in Artificial Intelligence and Human Computer Interaction and
designs and evaluates online learning environments.
