He is currently a researcher at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Specifically, his research interests include artificial intelligence, educational technology, learning analytics, and MOOCs. He has published ten scientific articles in scholarly journals and conference proceedings. He has taught Computer Science in secondary and higher education for the last 22 years. He is a co-author of six books about computer programming and educational technology.
PhD Research project:
Research questions:
- What is essential in learning analytics ethics for key educational stakeholders?
- What should a proposed checklist for learning analytics ethics include for specific educational stakeholders?
- “Using UTAUT as a theoretical lens, which factors explain the adoption of LA in schools? How do teachers describe their motivation and readiness for LA adoption?”
- Does the LA-based minimal and strong guidance learning approach have the same impact on student performance and SRL skills?
- What are the students’ learning perceptions and satisfaction under LA-based guidance?
