Paul Dempster
Lancaster University Lecturer, Institute of Coding
Lancaster, UK
My primary interests are programming education and data analytics in education and gaming. As part of my Institute of Coding role, I am designing, implementing, and evaluating innovative Computer Science courses for non-CS major students which allow me to explore some of the questions around how to best teach programming to large groups of students with diverse backgrounds and needs. I've also previously spent 10 years teaching CS at the University of Nottingham's campus in China, so any intersection with China is of interest. Other ear-perking phrases include "the demoscene" and "dependently-typed programming". I'm also a Senior Fellow of the HEA.
