Research Correia's research encompasses four interrelated foci: online learning and teaching,Baran, E., & Correia, A.-P. & Thompson, A. (2011). Transforming online teaching practice: A critical analysis of the online teaching literature. Distance Education, 32(3), pages 421 439. https://doi.org/10.1080/01587919.2011.610293 collaborative learning,Karpova, E., Correia, A.-P., & Baran, E. (2009).

The Internet and Higher Education, 12(1), pages 45-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.iheduc.2008.10.006 human-computer interaction, and curriculum development in educational technology. These areas overlap significantly because they are connected to a central underlying theme in her research: learning design.Hickey, S., & Correia, A.-P. (2024).

Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 52(4), pages 429-447. https://doi.org/10.1177/00472395231226094 She also conducts research in the field of artificial Intelligence.Correia, A.-P., Hickey, M.

Her research on nomophobia,Yildirim, C. & Correia, A.-P (2015). Exploring the Dimensions of Nomophobia: Development and Validation of a Self-Reported Questionnaire. Computers in Human Behavior, 49 (August 2015), pages 130-137. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2015.02.059 fear of being away from one's smartphone, led to the development of the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q). The questionnaire has been translated and used in similar research in Portugal,Gonçalves, S., Dias, P. & Correia, A.-P. (2020).
