About me

george_veletsianosDr. George Veletsianos is Assistant Professor of Instructional Technology at the University of Texas, Austin.

My prior post was as a Lecturer of Digital Technologies, Communication & Education at the University of Manchester, UK. My research interests involve the design, development, and evaluation of digital learning environments and my focus areas are adventure learning, pedagogical agents, and the learner experience (see http://www.veletsianos.com/publications). I hold an MA and PhD degree in Learning Technologies from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I enjoy reading and writing about the relationships between education, teaching, and learning, and technology and I play with problem-based and experiential education, and emerging technologies and practices. My work is also interwoven with themes relating to engagement, and transformative learning experiences.
