Dr. Jan Schneider is a postdoctoral researcher at the Educational Technologies group of the DIPF. He started his career as a researcher on 2008 working as a Human Computer Interaction researcher the Expertise Centre for Digital Media at Hasselt University in Belgium. There he worked for several research projects in the areas of Multi-Touch and mobile interactions. On December 2017 he received his PhD from the Open University of the Netherlands on the topic of “Sensor based Learning support”. During his PhD he worked on two European projects (Metalogue and Wekit) and his developed research prototypes got awarded in three different international conferences (EC-TEL 2014, EC-TEL 2015, ICMI 2015). His current research focus is in the area of Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA), where he is investigating the creation of generic frameworks and solutions designed to support the learning process with the use of Multimodal Data.
