My current professional activities and interests focus on information technology (IT), ethics and/or education.
- I am a lecturer in IT at the Department of Teacher Training of the Katholieke Hogeschool Leuven (KHLeuven).
I prepare students for teaching information technology (IT) and (some) computer science in secondary school.
I am responsible for an introductory overview course on IT and computer science, several programming courses, a seminar series on didactics, a seminar series on ethical and social issues of IT, and seminars on the use of IT as an educational tool.
I am also involved in policy making at the divisional and departmental levels.
Finally, together with Gerben Dierick, lecturer in IT at the Rega Department of the KHLeuven, I teach a course on ethical and social issues in information technology in the KHLeuven International Programme for Erasmus Students.
- I am a part-time free collaborator at the Department of Computer Science of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KULeuven), where I mainly work with Prof. dr. Henk Olivié, responsible for the Academic Teacher Training in IT and Computer Science.
- I like to think, talk and write on IT, ethics and education. A list of my publications on those topics can be found here (mostly in Dutch).
I also wrote "Het elfde gebod", a book about the main ethical and social issues connected to information technology.
More information about this book can be found here.
