Kenneth Lim, Dr

National Institute of Education, Singapore

Kenneth Y. T. Lim is one of about a dozen people worldwide to have been invited by Unesco as a member of the organisation’s inaugural Symposium on the Future of Education for Sustainable Development (Asian case study), 2016–2017. He has extensive experience in curriculum design, teaching and training in various contexts, and designing research interventions around the investigation of new media literacies. In recognition of the quality of his research and the scalability of his practice, his work was chosen as one of only five Research With Impact case studies for the National Institute of Education’s Office of Education Research/Office of Strategic Planning and Academic Quality ‘Research Excellence Report’ in 2017. Kenneth edited a book titled Landscapes of participatory making, modding and hacking: Maker culture and makerspaces which was published in 2017, alongside a second title in 2018, namely A guide to developing digital games for early grade literacy for developing countries (commissioned by Digital Learning for Development and All Children Reading). Kenneth’s work on the Six Learnings framework and Maker Motes helped him posit a theory of learning around the notion of disciplinary intuitions.
