Profile

Biography

Short biography

Agnes Kukulska-Hulme is Professor of Learning Technology and Communication and Associate Director (Learning and Teaching) in the Institute of Educational Technology. She is President of the International Association for Mobile Learning, and serves on the Editorial Boards of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL); Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning (RPTEL); and on the Advisory Board of the International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments (IJVPLE). She has been working in mobile learning since 2001, leading research projects investigating learning innovation in the UK and internationally. Her work includes co-editing special issues of the Journal of Interactive Media in Education (2005), ReCALL (2008), ALT-J (2009) and Open Learning (2010). She is co-editor of two books on mobile learning: Researching Mobile Learning: Frameworks, Tools and Research Designs (2009) and Mobile Learning: A Handbook for Educators and Trainers (2005). Recent invited scholarships and keynotes include research collaboration at the National Central University, Taiwan (2008) and a Visiting Scholarship at the University of Technology, Sydney (2009); keynotes at the EUROCALL 2008 Conference in Hungary, ICCE 2009 at The Hong Kong Institute of Education, NORDITEL 2010 in Sweden, and mLearn 2010 in Malta.

Agnes has led numerous projects investigating innovative and emergent practice with learning technologies in post-16 education, most recently as part of the European MOTILL project on mobile technologies in lifelong learning and the MASELTOV project on smart and personalized technologies for social inclusion of immigrants (2012-14). Her original discipline background is in foreign language teaching and learning and from this perspective she has a long standing research interest in effective communication with technology and the experiences of non-technical users. Her research interests include human factors in technology adoption, formal and informal language learning, and the challenges and rewards of lifelong learning.

Within The Open University, Agnes served as Deputy Director of the Institute of Educational Technology in 2005-7, Co-Head of the Technology Enhanced Learning Group in 2008-9, and Programme Lead for the Next Generation Distance Learning research programme in 2009-11. During the period 2002-7 she was Convener of the Technology and Learning Research Group in the Centre for Education and Educational Technology (CREET). She has chaired the Open University E-books Strategy Group, and in 2006-7 served as Academic Advisor to the Mobile Learning strand of the University’s Virtual Learning Environment project. Her teaching responsibilities have included chairing the production and presentation of two online courses in the global Masters in Online and Distance Education programme. She has been a regular contributor to staff development offerings in the area of pedagogical applications of new technologies and mobile learning.

Background - personal statement

Educational technologists often have a background in another discipline, and in my case it is language science: language teaching and learning, linguistics and terminology. Before joining the Open University in 1996, I was a lecturer in French and Computational Linguistics at Aston University in Birmingham (1985-1995), researching the design of dictionaries for translators and technical writers, and later working on user-centred index design for access to technical documentation which became the focus of my PhD thesis (completed in 1993). I became interested in understanding the terminological barriers preventing non-technical users from gaining essential knowledge about computing concepts such as security. Prior to that, I worked as a computer programmer in Birmingham (1982-84) and as an Assistant Lecturer at the University of Warsaw in Poland (1980-81).

Since 1996 I have been working in educational technology, writing on-line distance education courses, evaluating learner interactions with technology, conducting research into user interface requirements for pedagogical applications, and investigating innovative practices in the use of technology for learning. In my book on Language and Communication: Essential Concepts for User Interface and Documentation Design (1999) I drew on my knowledge and experience in language teaching and terminology to develop a framework exploring the language elements of user interfaces, help facilities and user documentation. I was project leader of the LUMINA research project which investigated how early web users interpreted specialised terms, in their efforts to make sense of multimedia components in educational websites. In the past decade, my research and evaluation work has been in the areas of mobile learning, educational website usability, student experiences with e-books, and exploiting digital video resources for groupwork. 

The books I have co-edited, Mobile Learning: A Handbook for Educators and Trainers (2005) and Researching Mobile Learning (2009), give a flavour of the breadth of my work as I have always been interested both in the detail of learner experience with technology and making sense of the bigger picture. I have been pursuing several lines of investigation within the field of mobile learning, much of it focusing on emergent, learner-initiated practice in the use of mobile technologies, and informal or peer-support initiatives among teachers wanting to explore mobile learning. I'm interested in how the proliferation of mobile devices is impacting foreign language teaching and learning, and how new forms and motivations for language learning might in turn change our attitudes and approaches to multilingual knowledge seeking, global communication and knowledge representation on the web. Another key strand of my activity is uncovering and dissemination of good practice, thinking about how this can be shared across disciplines and education sectors, and the connections that need to be made between policy and practice.
