Dr Mireilla Bikanga Ada

  • Lecturer (Computing Science)

Biography

Lecturer with the Education and Practice (EAP) section, the Centre for Computing Science Education research group the School Computing Science since September 2018.

I joined the School of Computing Science from the INTO Glasgow Caledonian University (January - August 2018) and Glasgow Clyde College (2014-18), where I worked as a Lecturer in Computing.

My interdisciplinary PhD at the University of the West of Scotland looked at the feedback delivery methods, in particular, the use of mobile technology for assessment feedback.
