Stoodley's research focuses on information literacy, IT education, professional ethics in information technology, higher education research, student engagement, research supervision, and interactive learning environments. His work often centers on practical applications of theoretical concepts, particularly in educational settings. He has made significant contributions to understanding how students learn programming, how to design effective learning experiences in environments like QUT's "The Cube" (a giant interactive multimedia space), and how to improve health information literacy among older Australians.

His publication record demonstrates a clear evolution from foundational research on IT professionals' ethical experiences to more applied work on student engagement frameworks and interactive learning environments. The most recent publications (2018-2020) focus heavily on "The Cube" learning environment, reflecting his ongoing commitment to innovative educational technology applications. His work consistently bridges theory and practice, with strong emphasis on practical implementation in higher education settings.

Stoodley has collaborated extensively with Christine Bruce, Helen Partridge, and other QUT colleagues across multiple publications spanning information literacy, IT education, and student engagement research. His collaborative approach is evident across his publication history, showing consistent partnerships that have produced significant contributions to the field.

His work on supervision resources and higher degree research supervision indicates active involvement in graduate education. The 2013 publication "Experiencing higher degree research supervision as teaching" particularly highlights his focus on improving research supervision practices. While specific grant information isn't detailed in the provided text, his leadership in projects related to student engagement frameworks suggests involvement in significant educational research initiatives.

Stoodley has been instrumental in developing resources for the QUT's "The Cube" interactive learning environment, creating both practical guides and research-based findings about learning in this unique space. His work has helped shape how this facility is used for educational purposes, demonstrating his commitment to practical application of educational theory.
