A talk between Dr.Wayne Holmes and Guillem Garcia Brustenga
29/03/2019
Last March 29, 2019 at the UOC, during the meeting of the EADTU Artificial Intelligence Task Force, we took advantage of the presence of Wayne Holmes to make and record a conversation. At this informal meeting in the UOC’s 22@ building, we talked about Artificial Intelligence, personal assistants and the university of the future.
Dr. Holmes is a lecturer specialising in Education and Innovation Sciences at the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University, where he conducts a research on Artificial Intelligence in education. His research focuses on the application of Artificial Intelligence in education (AIED), how it can improve learning, and how we can ensure that its application is socially and ethically responsible.
These are exciting topics and I am personally very interested in them right now, so getting to know Wayne Holmes, having this conversation with him and sharing perspectives was very interesting and enriching. Here’s the video of the talk.

He has been involved in the management of several UOC technology projects in innovation areas related to the Internet as a facilitator of the University's educational innovation from the eLearn Center. He is currently looking for creative solutions to boost the translational research on e-Learning in the UOC and solutions to reinvent the concept of Research Center in a virtual environment. He is interested in innovation models and strategies, in the digital transformation of companies, in arising opportunities and in the effect that technology has -and the exponential growth it causes- on individuals, society, the labour market and education.
