Lecturing Educational Technology (related subjects in the Faculty of Education). Born in Bogotá (Colombia), Murcianica by adoption (Murcia, Spain). I am an educationalist by profession, a musicology student by hobby, a Doctor (PhD) by prescription 😉 … and a chatterbox by devotion.

From Murcia (although I am always halfway there when we are not in world pandemics), I work on specific aspects of research in Technology and Education. I try to see educational technology, but I always do so from the shore closest to education. That is my perspective, although sometimes I make “incursions” on the other shore.

I have done research stays in fascinating places all over the world (the KMi of the OU, the Learning and New Technologies research group of the Department of Education of the University of Oxford, the CENT of the UJI, the Graduate School of Education of the UC Berkeley, among others) and I maintain fluid relationships with many of my contacts from those stays and with many interesting people from many interesting places all over the world.

If you want to see some of the things I’ve written, there are here (publications)

I am currently leading the Spanish teams in three European projects:

I direct the research contract ARS-SELFIE: Digital Competences in Spanish Education: Strategic Regional Approaches of the Joint Research Center of the European UnionI also coordinate the Accreditation part of the UNIDIGITAL DigCompEdu Training and Accreditation Project, which is jointly coordinated by the University of Alcalá, the University of Murcia, and the University of Seville and in which 35 Spanish universities participate.

In addition, I have the opportunity and honour of serving on the editorial boards of the European Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, the Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research, the Development Editorial Board of the journal Educational Technology Research & Development (ETR&D), and the journal of my research group, the Revista Interuniversitaria de investigación en Tecnología Educativa.
