Kamakshi Rajagopal
Dr. Kamakshi Rajagopal is an assistant professor in educational technology and has extensive experience with the concept of Virtual Mobility. In her previous role as a researcher at the KU Leuven, she has worked on and project managed a number of funded projects on Virtual Mobility and related issues such as (i) implementation of VM actions in current teaching practice in higher education, (ii) continuous professional development for HE teachers and staff, (iii) impact of VM actions on competence development in students. This experience has given her much insight into both the strategic considerations of HEIs in working with VM, as well as the practical implications of implementing VM actions in HEI practice. Building on that experience, Dr. Rajagopal has now founded an academic career in technology-enhanced learning with a focus on networked learning, design-based research and practice-based research.
