Kamran Mir

Ed. Tech Researcher and Trainer with a strong background in programming and GIS. A certified Prezi Educator Trainer and having technical certifications in various areas. My career includes roles such as Assistant Director IT at Allama Iqbal Open University, where I was responsible for the development and maintenance of the LMS (MOODLE) at scale, as well as conducting tech trainings. I'm currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy degree at TU Dublin, focusing on mapping learning analytics with learning designs. My previous research as a PhD scholar at IGIS, NUST, involved developing a geo-spatial model for distance education and exploring spatial learning analytics using Moodle and H5P. My dedication to education and research, along with my technical skills and certifications, make me a valuable asset in the field of Ed. Tech.
