Research
As Chief Technology Officer, Paul Kim, provides vision and strategic plans for academic & information technology to the Stanford University School of Education and also teaches courses related to web-based technologies in learning. His R&D interests include: 3D learning environments, web-based concept maps, language & culture education through technologies, and E-learning. He serves as the chairman of the board for the Intercultural Institute of California. He received his Ph.D. and Master's degree from the University of Southern California.
As part of the POMI (Programmable Open Mobile Internet) research project funded by the National Science Foundation, my team is working on several initiatives, including ROSE (Remotely Operated Science Experiment), HMS (Homework Management System), PocketSchool, EduVarta, SIS, and 1001 Stories (Global Children Digital Narratives Exchange Project).
- ROSE connects Stanford University science experimental labs with children in rural village schools in India, Africa, and Latin America where children in the developing regions can directly control and learn with science experiments through mobile Internet in real-time.
- HMS, an award winning project, engages students to generate, reflect, evaluate, and distribute own learning and assessment objects by leveraging a social mobile learning network service. Currently, HMS involves Android-based mobile devices (e.g., Droid phones and tablets) and a highly portable router and server architecture for ad-hoc team-based learning scenarios.
- An award winning initiative, PocketSchool provides educational access to children living in regions where there is no formal school or adequate level of learning resources. PocketSchool distributes mobile learning devices coupled with a plug school (i.e., highly portable, motorcycle battery-operated wireless web server loaded with open education videos).
- EduVarta is a rural youth development project partnering with an award winning social mobile network service. In EduVarta, rural youths can engage in interactions with urban college student volunteers to seek educational and career counseling via SMS 2.0 services. Currently, EduVarta has been launched in Pune, India with UNESCO recognized social SMS enterprise, SMSOne.
- SIS (Skewer in Seoul - inspired by Tower of London Executive Function test) project aims to design critical thinking-based mobile learning games for the visually challenged youth (i.e., congenital or early-onset blindness) in the developing regions. Currently, SIS incorporates Linux and Flash-based mobile learning devices with an audio feedback system to engage young students in critical thinking games originally developed to measure executive functions of sighted children. The SIS mobile games were designed with researchers in S. Korea (Donggil Song) and Malaysia (Arafeh Karimi) while being used in schools in India.
- 1001 Stories project conducts mobile digital story telling workshops for children living in conflict zones (e.g., Uganda, Middle east) or involved in child labor (e.g., Africa & India) to tell stories to the world. Stories are available through mobile applications or printed media. In this project, students learn to play a variety of mobile education games and use a mobile story maker to generate digital stories and share with other children.
