I am Duygu Bektik, Postdoctoral Research Associate for the IET’s OpenTEL. Over the last 10 years, I have been studying in the fields of computer science, instructional technologies and education, to explore and understand how students learn, what makes them better learners, how to measure the learning gain, what makes the environments in which learning takes place better and specifically how the use of technology can enhance learning activities.

Introducing Jenna Mittelmeier
Hello to all! My name is Jenna Mittelmeier and I am joining OpenTEL this month as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. My primary research interests are centred around internationalisation of higher education and international student experiences. As part of my role this year, I am the lead researcher for the UKCISA-funded project Social Transition Research into International Doctoral Experiences (STRIDE), which unpacks international postgraduate students’ social support networks. I also contribute to the ESRC-funded International Distance Education and African Students (IDEAS) project. This project considers the role of South African distance education in providing equitable access to higher education for students across Africa.
