Rob Moore, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Educational Technology at the University of Florida in the School of Teaching and Learning and the director of the Investigating Digital Ecologies to Advance Transformative Education (IDEATE) Research Lab within the Institute for Advanced Learning Technologies (IALT). He is an Associate Editor of Journal of Computing in Higher Education.
His research explores how processes and structures within digital ecologies influence learner experiences, focusing on digital microcredentials and massive open online courses (MOOCs) as transformative pathways for education and careers. Dr. Moore investigates the impact of technology integration on learner experiences and outcomes, using systems thinking, design thinking, and machine learning techniques to uncover patterns in learner behavior and motivation. His work aims to identify how these factors influence learner intentions and how learners achieve desired outcomes in digital learning environments. Additionally, he examines how technology integration contributes to the development and effectiveness of these educational and career pathways. The National Science Foundation and Spencer Foundation have funded Dr. Moore’s research.
