I am a Professor (Catedrático de Universidad) and head of the Department of Computing Languages and Systems I at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. I also am the head of the LITE research group (Laboratory of Information Technologies in Education) and Chairman of the ADIE research association (Asociación para el Desarrollo de la Informática Educativa). I received my “Licenciatura” and my PhD in Computer Science from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in 1985 and 1990.
