Dr. George Veletsianos is Assistant Professor of Learning Technologies at the University of Texas, Austin. His research focuses on the design and study of emerging technologies and pedagogies in online and hybrid education settings, and their relationship to student and instructor experiences and practices. More specifically, he studies Adventure Learning, pedagogical agents, and Networked Participatory Scholarship. His research of these topics draws from socio-cultural theory while being informed from related fields such as Sociology and Human-Computer Interaction. Given the embryonic nature of theory specific to Learning Technologies to understand emergent phenomena, the majority of his work falls within the interpretive research paradigm.
Recently he has published an edited book under an open access license entitled Emerging Technologies in Distance Education, which can be downloaded for free at http://www.aupress.ca/index.php/books/120177. The rest of his publications are also available. He has been involved in global projects and investigations including work in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, and Cyprus, and is active in consulting, teaching, and research. Dr. Veletsianos is a frequent keynote speaker and presented on online and distance education, emerging technologies, adventure learning, pedagogical agents, social media, and participatory scholarship.
