Jo Tondeur is a Professor of Educational Technology and Chair of the Brussels Research Institute for Teacher Education (BRITE) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). With professional experience across primary, secondary, and adult education, his research focuses on educational innovation, teachers' professional development, and the meaningful integration of digital technologies in teaching and learning. He examines these processes at both the individual level, such as pedagogical beliefs, digital competencies, and professional identity, and the institutional level, including leadership, school culture, and professional learning communities. His work led to the development of the internationally used SQD‑model for preparing teachers to teach with digital technologies. More recently, his research explores human–AI interaction, adaptive learning, and the design of inclusive and socially responsible learning environments, with international collaborations through networks such as EUTOPIA and UNESCO EduSummIT.
