Xuan Thu Dang started his professional doctorate studies (on the use of ICT in language teaching in Vietnam) at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia in 2009. He was formerly Deputy Dean of the English Department, Hanoi University, Vietnam. Since 1991 he has been involved in teaching and research mainly in Vietnam in the discipline areas of English as a foreign language, technology in teaching, learning and professional development, translation and interpreting skills. Thu has been working as a high-level freelance interpreter for the European Commission since 2002. Last year Thu assisted a project in Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne about using the ambient technologies to create classroom presence for children absent due to health reasons. He is now working for the phase 2 of the project using broadband-enabled ambient and phatic technologies to connect hospitalised children with their schools and families in Melbourne, Australia. His current research interests include ubiquitous learning, e-learning, mobile learning, blended learning, innovative use of ICT in teaching and learning, and best practices of ICT use in higher education.
