About

Overview

Luis works as Senior Lecturer in Educational Development in the Department of Learning Enhancement and Development (LEaD). He is the Deputy Programme Director of the MA/PGDip/PGCert in Academic Practice and module leader for a couple of modules: EDM109 - Researching Higher Education, EDM114 - Educational Research Project & Publication. He also supervises PhD and MA students.

He has more than 20 years of experience in education, as a lecturer, researcher, learning technologist and academic developer. He completed his PhD in the area of digital media education at the University of Minho (Portugal) in 2012. Prior to joining City in April 2022, Luis worked at Imperial College London as a Senior Academic Developer, leading a team of academic developers. His journey in HE includes other universities, like Coventry, Bournemouth, Oxford or Ravensbourne.

His research is the result of the intersection between digital media, learning and digital society. Luis is particularly interested in how we develop our digital capacities and on how people can shape/take ownership of their digital narrative. Luis focuses his attention on the impact of the digital devices in different aspects of our daily lives, from school to family, from politics to hobbies. Living in a multiscreen society, he looks for creative ways of people making the most of the digital opportunities and encourage participatory cultures to be positively engaged, namely through social media.

His research topics include digital literacies, digital media education, misinformation, active and collaborative learning, distance teaching.
