About

Tom Crick is Professor of Digital & Policy and Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor (Civic Mission) at Swansea University. He holds a joint research and innovation appointment split between the Department of Education & Childhood Studies (Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences), and the £32m Computational Foundry (Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science & Engineering). Whilst his disciplinary background is in computer science, his academic interests sit at the research/public policy interface with a focus on broad societal/policy impact: STEM/digital education, curriculum reform, science and innovation policy, data science, intelligent systems, smart cities, national infrastructure, software sustainability, digital transformation, and skills/infrastructure for the digital/data economy. As underpinning themes, his broader research interests also include levers for government innovation, digital public services, new economic models for the digital economy, digital democracy, and citizen/civic/public engagement.

Tom also has extensive independent expert advisory, non-executive governance and assurance experience, across the public and private sectors, including Welsh and UK Government roles (see below).

He is Editor-in-Chief of The Computer Journal (2021-present), one of the longest-established journals (since 1958) serving all branches of the academic computer science community, published by Oxford University Press. Tom is also an Editor of the Wales Journal of Education/Cylchgrawn Addysg Cymru (2020-present), a bilingual platinum open access journal published by the University of Wales Press.

Tom was appointed MBE in the 2017 Queen’s Birthday Honours for “services to computer science and the promotion of computer science education”. In 2020, he was made a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales, the national academy for science and the arts. He is also a Chartered Fellow of the BCS and the IET, and a Distinguished Speaker and Senior Member of the ACM.

Taught Modules

EDN206 Digital Education: Pedagogy and Practice

This module will enable you to develop your understanding of learning, teaching and assessment with digital technologies. It will outline different perspectives and debates concerning digital technologies and pedagogy. There is an emphasis on critical analysis, evidence-informed approaches and design principles. The module will outline fundamental issues including inclusivity, accessibility, legislation, policies and standards. You will not be required to develop legal expertise but an awareness of how they influence educational practice. You will be able to develop your understanding of how to source, evaluate and implement open educational resources (OERs) for teaching and learning. There will be opportunities to develop technical, creative and project management skills.
EDPM06 Digital Education and Practice

This module will enable you to develop both a practical and a theoretical understanding of the role and place of digital technologies in education. You will be encouraged to engage with key debates and issues surrounding digital competencies with particular reference to the introduction of the Digital Competence Framework in Wales. The module will explore how professional practice is informed, and transformed, by the effective use of digital technologies through the study of their impact on pedagogy, assessment and progression. Students will evaluate the strengths and limitations of existing and emerging digital methods and approaches adopted in the UK and international settings and will explore the skills required for successful digital practice, and what this means for future professional learning needs.
