About

Paul Seitlinger is a researcher at the intersection of educational technology, human-computer interaction, and digital ethics. His work explores how emerging technologies—particularly robotics and game-based learning—can be harnessed to foster critical social competencies and civic engagement in young learners. Seitlinger’s most-cited paper, “Using Robots for Digital Storytelling: A Game Design Framework for Teaching Human Rights to Primary School Students” (2021, 13 citations), exemplifies this focus. In it, he develops a novel pedagogical framework that integrates programmable robots with narrative-driven game design, enabling primary school students to explore complex human rights issues through hands-on, creative problem-solving. This contribution is notable for bridging abstract ethical concepts with tangible, interactive learning experiences, offering educators a practical tool for promoting empathy and digital literacy. Beyond this work, Seitlinger’s research agenda consistently emphasizes learner-centered design, participatory methods, and the responsible integration of AI in education. His scholarship is gaining traction among researchers in educational robotics and digital citizenship, with his citation trajectory reflecting growing interest in applied, value-driven technology for classrooms. Seitlinger’s work stands out for its commitment to using technology not merely as a tool, but as a medium for social and moral development.
