BIOGRAPHY
|
A former teacher in elementary school, Pierre Dillenbourg graduated in educational science (University of Mons, Belgium). He started his research on learning technologies in 1984. He obtained a PhD in computer science from the University of Lancaster (UK), in the domain of artificial intelligence applications for educational software. He has been professor assistant at TECFA, University of Geneva. He joined EPFL in November 2002. His current interests concern computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL): the design and experimentation of interactive furniture; the effects of awareness tools on group performance and mutual modeling; the authoring of CSCL scripts; the use of eye tracking method for predicting interaction patterns. P. Dillenbourg has been consultant for companies in Switzerland and Europe. He is the editor of the Kluwer Series "Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning" and former president of the International Society for Learning Sciences.
As director of CRAFT, the teacher service unit, Pierre Dillenbourg is very much involved in the training policy of EPFL, within the Vice-Presidency for Academic Affairs.

Current work
|
The following research projects are described on http://craft.epfl.ch:
- Interactive furniture that supports teamwork: The Noise Sensitive Table and the Docking Lamp.
- The use of eye tracking methods for analyzing computer-supported collaborative tasks (NSF project on Mutual Modelling, project with IBM Watson Labs, etc.).
- Technologies for dual apprentice training (a leading house funded by BBT).
- Scripts that enhance collaborative learning: an authoring environment (manyscripts.epfl.ch).
Pierre Dillenbourg's research is sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation, the Swiss Federal Commission for Technology Innovation (CTI), and the European Commission.
