Jonathan Davidson

Dr Jonathan Davidson works at the University of Canterbury in the role of Remote/Distance Lab Engineer. Jonathan has a PhD in Geology; his recent passion has been exploring and pushing the boundaries on the way we teach and learn, with particular interest in the subject of Earth sciences. Jonathan helps designs and create innovative teaching tools with the aim of making them easy to use, pleasant to look at and, most of all, fun! Over the years, Jonathan has loved supervising post-graduate students in Earth Education, and not only because he gets to use them as guinea pigs for his projects! His driving force is the idea that his work is helping students to finally understand complex concepts that are often difficult to grasp using traditional teaching methods (in other words, providing them with that "ahhhh I get it" moment after hours of frustration.)
