During 6 years I've been actively involved in a master's programme: "Master of Multimedia Education" (from Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto). This MSc was particularly interesting because its first semester was shared between other two MSc's: the Multimedia Technology master (from FEUP) and the Art Multimedia master (from FBAUP). I believe that the sharing of experiences between students with very different backgrounds was one of the great strengths of this MSc. In this Masters' Programme I taught 2 courses: "Multimedia Educational Models" and "Production of Educational Software" and was member of the Masters' Coordination Commission.

This year I'm lecturing in a master's programme, "Master in Multimedia", from UP (the course is "Educational Software"), generally speaking, it's the Bolonha's adaptation of the previous programme.

I'm also joining a Doctoral Program in Digital Media that will start this year (2009/10). This is a joint program between UP, FCT-UNL and UT-Austin; and in the Doctoral Program in Computer Science from DCC-FCUP.

   PhD Students
 
  • Michael Kaufmann, began in January 2007
  • Fernando Ventura, began in October 2006

Both of them dropped the PhD course after an year due to lack of time for research (life is hard!), despite both having a grant from FCT (see what I mean?).

Therefore, I'm looking for new students!!
