Senior Lecturer, Saint Martin's Institute of Higher Education

Jonathan has more than two decades of experience teaching digital media theory and practice and is specialising in representing intangible cultural heritage in digital form. He was the project lead for the Re-Live History project: a VR version of the Hypogeum, a Neolithic complex dating back to 4100 BC. He is currently a PhD candidate at Trinity College Dublin, and is researching on the use of VR IDNs to represent uncertain cultural heritage in the Tarxien Neolithic Complex.
Jonathan was the vice chair of WG3 on evaluation in the EU COST Action INDCOR exploring complexity in Interactive Digital Narratives and developed the first training school together with fellow trainers Lissa and Hartmut. He has co-organised and taught in all three INDCOR Training Schools (Malta (2021), Messina (2022), Gran Canaria (2023)).
