MAMK :: Research

Mark A.M. Kramer is an early adopter and informed critic of mobile information and communications technologies. He served in the US Air Force as a Surgical Technician and Combat Field Medic while completing his bachelor’s degree in World Classical Literature and Anthropology at Antioch University in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Mark continued his studies in Vienna, Austria, by completing his Master’s degree in International Relations at Webster University. Currently, Mark is teaching in Salzburg and conducting his doctoral research within the general field of e-learning, concentrating on applying mobile technologies to enhance personal and cooperative learning communities.

Mark spends a great portion of his time between Vienna and Salzburg traveling on average 16-24 hours a week on the Austrian Railway. This time is spent in part by conducting real-world research and developing strategies for extreme-mobile learning scenarios.

Mark’s long-term goal is to apply his medical training and humanitarian background combined with his anthropological field-experience to help develop mobile ICT solutions and infrastructure to assist medical & humanitarian staff located in geographically and politically (democratically) challenged regions.
