Holdridge's research centers on educational technology with dual emphases: Technology Enhanced Learning and Digital Libraries. He investigates how technology overcomes traditional teaching barriers to promote deep learning, particularly through educational informatics and learning analytics for personalized student approaches. His digital library work addresses critical challenges in digitization and preservation systems.
Publication analysis from 2007-2018 reveals consistent focus on metacognition in information behavior, methodological rigor in user studies, and technology's pedagogical impact. Recent work examines student perceptions of technology-enhanced learning approaches, while earlier studies explore cognitive styles in music software design and search behavior.
