Research Expertise
Dr Preston’s research is typified by activity in two primary domains. These are Information and Communication Technologies,and Higher Education.
Research Domain- Information and Communication Technology and Online learning The field of ICT is the domain where most of Dr Preston’s research work has been focused since his appointment, and he is a recognized expert in online learning in higher Education. Key in this area has been the conduct of research which is designed to evaluate the use of ICT and Online learning in Educational settings. Specifically Dr Preston has developed a strong reputation for quality practical research inthe area of uses of Online learning and the Internet in educational settings. This research evaluates and assesses the outcomes of the introduction of ICT into learning environments, and advises on the effectiveness of specific approaches to the use of ICT. This research links directly with Dr Preston’s primary teaching responsibilities. The findings of this research has not only formed the basis for his teaching in this area, but has resulted in numerous presentations at local, nation, and international gatherings and refereed journal articles. Additionally, he was the institutional lead on a Carrick priority grant which explored the use of e-learning and the iLecture system at four of Australia's Research intensive universities. Similarly, his work on social issues in ICT has resulted in book chapters and fully refereed presentations at the most important international, and national conferences in this field.
Research Domain- Higher Education. Dr Preston’s work in this area is founded on an interest in the nature of Educational Institutions and the ways that individual institutions adapt and react to external political, economic and social forces. The research is particularly focused on Teaching and the Institutions of Teacher training. His research in this domain has seen him publishing numerous reports, book chapters and books in the History of HE and academic integrity in HE areas. His research in this domain includes traditional historical methods of document, photographic and policy location, analysis, and interpretation.
Teaching ExpertiseDr Preston’s major teaching responsibilities are currently in the School of Education Postgraduate program in ICT. His main teaching responsibilities have been on EDUC6018 Information Technologies and Education EDUC6038 An Introduction to ICT in Education EDUC6036 Educational Leadership and ICT EDUC6039 Applications of Computers in Education EDUC6042 Digitally Supported Learning EDUC6101 Web 2.0 and Beyond EDUC6240 Teaching the Digital Generation. His has been the leader of the ICT disipline for the last 20 years. During his time at the University he has taught within almost all the programs offered by the school of education. This has included lectures to large undergraduate groups and small tutorials for postgraduate coursework groups. He has been involved with the supervision of practicum placements and RHD students, and been at the cutting edge of the appropriate use of computer-based technology in all of these endeavours. Guiding this involvement has been a belief in the notion of students constructing their own learning. This has lead to a student-centred approach to the learning and teaching process, which stresses the importance of students taking control over their own learning. Similarly, the processes of self-reflection and evaluation (both student and peer) have been pivotal in the development of Dr Preston’s teaching style. He has received the Vice-Chancellors Award for Teaching Excellence for 2005, the Vice-Chancellors Citation for outstanding Contributions to Student Learning for 2006, and a NUPSA award for Online teacher of the Year in 2014.

[more] Strategic planning with a focus on world-class university status is an option that cannot be avoided by universities today to survive and succeed in competition as a provider of higher education. The objective of this research is to obtain exploratory research results on the strategic plans of universities that are prepared to generate world-class university status. This research utilised exploratory qualitative research method and data was collected by in-depth interviews method. Interview transcripts were analyzed by using thematic content analysis through NVivo software analysis and manual systems. The main finding of interview shows that most interviewees agreed that UNIMA has been engaged in strategic planning. Contribution from faculties and schools are acknowledged and inform the planning process. However, a new model of strategic planning should be adopted by UNIMA due to the shift towards a "corporate university". The finding results from documents, literature review and interview were the addition of world-class university characteristics and features to current strategic planning of UNIMA and how to upgrade by considering to use the characteristics and features towards world-class university.
