Dr Mireilla Bikanga Ada

  • Lecturer (Computing Science)

Biography

Lecturer in 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.

Research interests

  • Postgraduate education
  • Educational technology
  • MSc supervision and marking
  • Learning analytics and big data in CS education
  • Assessment and feedback
  • Identify students at risk: using students’ affective state as a measure of risk
  • Active learning in CS education: Flipped classroom, modified Team-Based Learning
  • Game-based Learning in CS
