He teaches on the MSc in Digital Education and MSc in Education Futures programs, and serves as course organiser for several key courses including 'Learning Spaces and Digital Technologies', 'The Future of Learning Organisations', and 'Education and Digital Cultures'. As an active researcher, he contributes to the Centre for Research in Digital Education and leads the Hybrid Pioneers research group. Dr Lamb's educational background includes a PhD from the University of Edinburgh (funded by ESRC), an MSc with distinction from the University of Edinburgh, and a BA degree with distinction from Edinburgh Napier University. His doctoral research focused on 'Space, Sociomateriality, Sound: the Learning Spaces of Higher Education,' reflecting his longstanding interest in the relationship between physical environments and educational experiences. Dr Lamb's research primarily investigates the relationship between learning spaces and digital technologies, with particular attention to how sound features within educational contexts and how multimodal approaches can enhance teaching and assessment. His work bridges theoretical frameworks from postdigital studies, sociomaterial theory, and spatial analysis to examine how digital technologies transform physical and conceptual learning environments. He has developed innovative methodologies for studying learning spaces, including the use of 'digital multimodal postcards' that capture both visual and auditory dimensions of educational experiences. His research is characterized by a strong commitment to practical applications that can inform educational design and improve student learning experiences in both physical and digital settings. Dr Lamb's extensive publication record demonstrates a clear evolution toward increasingly sophisticated explorations of postdigital learning spaces. His recent work integrates concepts from architecture, music, and mobility studies to create a more holistic understanding of how learners inhabit and transform educational environments. A notable trend is his growing focus on sustainability, equity, and well-being within learning space design, reflecting broader shifts in educational priorities toward more humane and socially responsible approaches to technology integration. Dr Lamb actively supervises PhD students Edward Martin and Nick Hood, and is open to supervising projects related to learning spaces, sound in education, and multimodal teaching and assessment in higher education. His supervision approach emphasizes connecting theoretical frameworks with practical educational applications, encouraging students to develop innovative methodologies for investigating complex educational phenomena. Dr Lamb leads the Elektronisches Lernen Muzik project, which explores the relationship between music and learning, and is a co-author of the influential Manifesto for Teaching Online. He is also a key member of the Hybrid Pioneers research group, which investigates the challenges and opportunities of hybrid teaching and learning environments. These initiatives reflect his commitment to exploring the intersections between traditional educational practices and emerging digital possibilities.
