Who?
I am Ville Karavirta, currently living in Helsinki, Finland. I am a graduate from Helsinki University of Technology with a PhD in Software Systems and a minor in the Computer and Information Science. I currently work for the Learning+Technology Group in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Aalto University as a post-doctoral researcher. I’m also co-founder of a Finnish start-up company, By The Mark Corp., that “provides services that help people learn, teach, and assess computer programming skills.”
What?
I like to help students to learn programming. In my current project, I’m researching tools for mobile devices to support CS education. In general, I love looking at new technologies and using them in computer science education to improve efficiency of teachers and learning results of students.
