Research Associate in E-learning

Dr Paul Rudman is a research associate working on SWIFT, which investigates the use of artificial environments, such as Second Life, to support laboratory-based learning of genetics at undergraduate level.

Paul has previously worked on the Equator project at the University of Glasgow investigating interactions between a physical city and its digital representation, as consultant on the evaluation of MyArtSpace, a mobile learning service to support school museum visits, and most recently at Oxford Brookes University on the evaluation of the EU-funded AtGentive project, which investigated the role of artificial characters in guiding children's attention in an online learning environment.

Paul's doctoral research at the University of Birmingham created an innovative form of dynamic support for learning during spoken conversations. His research interests centre on the use of new technology to support the learner and the learning process, especially the automatic provision of relevant information at important moments in the learning process.
