Paul Kim (born in 1970)[1] is the chief technology officer and assistant dean at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and has held this position since 2001.[2]

While at Stanford, in addition to teaching graduate level courses in the School of Education, he has been leading projects involving the design of learning technologies, educational research, and community development.[3]

Dr. Kim received his Ph.D. in educational technology at the University of Southern California in 1999.[2] Since completing his doctorate, he has held posts such as the executive director of information technology at the University of Phoenix, the vice president and chief information officer at Vatterott College, and the chairman of the board for the Intercultural Institute of California.[4]

In all of these positions, Dr. Kim has focused on improving access and equity in education throughout both developed and developing countries.

Projects, Research, and Leadership

Projects

PocketSchool. Dr. Kim designed and initiated a global mobile learning technology initiative named the PocketSchool Project a contextualized learning technology solution for children in underserved communities of developing countries.[5][6][7][8]

Programmable Open Mobile Internet (POMI). He is also currently one of senior researchers for the POMI, a National Science Foundation (NSF) project to develop and evaluate wireless mobile computing and interactive systems for K-20 formal and informal learning and assessment scenarios.[9]

Research

Dr. Kim is also working with numerous international organizations to develop mobile empowerment solutions for extremely underserved communities in developing countries.[10][11][12][13] In his recent expeditions to Latin America,[14][15] Africa, and India,[16] he investigated the effects of highly programmable open-source mobile learning platforms on education programs for literacy, numeracy, and entrepreneurship (e.g., math games, storytelling, and farming simulations).[2][3][14] As part of his research, he is also exploring mobile wireless sensors in simulation-based learning and ePortfolio-based assessment to promote creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving.[17][18]

Leadership

In order to promote and incubate social innovation and educational entrepreneurship, Paul Kim founded a voluntary 501(C3) non-profit organization named XRI in 2006 and an accompanying initiative named Seeds of Empowerment. Paul Kim has been actively encouraging the students in his graduate classes at Stanford to take classroom projects to the real world. In fact, some of the work that has come out of Seeds of Empowerment work has succeeded to the final rounds of global competitions sponsored by organizations including the Sesame Workshop,[19] WISE by the Qatar Foundation,[20] and the Marvell 100K Challenge.[21] In the higher education space, he advises investment bankers and technology ventures focused on e-learning, knowledge management, and mobile communication solutions. His due-diligence engagements include early-stage angel funding and also later-stage private equity-based investments for large enterprises such as Grand Canyon University, Northcentral University, NCA/HLC accredited online universities, and Penn Foster College. His recent international advisement cases include the Saudi Arabia national online university initiative, institutional development for Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador, and WASC accreditation for the CETYS Universidad in Mexico.[2][3] He is also an advisory committee member for National Science Foundation[22] as an Education and Human Resources Directorate.

In his keynote presentations and publications, he often presents a value-centered ecosystem borrowing Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. In his view, individuals and organizations must evolve in order to stay competitive and that any advantage in the ecosystem is always temporary.[23][24] His unconventional education models have been referred as future education systems.[5][6]
