BIOGRAPHY
Patrick Jermann started his career at TECFA (University of Geneva) developing an online learning environment featuring innovative CSCL scripts. He then worked for three years as a Research Associate at the University of Pittsburgh in the Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC). There he designed and developed online environments dedicated to online lesson planning for the Institute for Learning while at the same time conducting experiments towards his doctoral dissertation. In 2003, Patrick Jermann joined the CRAFT team at EPFL (Swiss Institute of Technology, Lausanne) as a researcher and coordinatior of eLearning projects. He obtained his doctorate in 2004 about Computer Support for Interaction Regulation in Collaborative Problem-Solving (University of Geneva). In 2009, Patrick Jermann obtained an Ambizione Grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation to conduct a three years research program on multimodal collaborative interaction modeling.

Current research projects:
tangible augmented interaction in vocational training. How can concrete objects sustain the acquisition of abstract concept.
Dual Eyetracking. How to induce socio-cognitive activities from gaze traces and how a system can use these informations to provide feedback

Current services:
Moodle implementation and diffusion at EPFL.
Chairman of the Educational Technology Workgroup at SWITCH
