The group's ambitions include developing ICT and media competence in teacher education, both when comes to teacher educators and the students. Collaboration takes place with ICT strategist from several municipalities as well as with other educational institutions.
The research group participates in the National Research School on Digital Technologies in Education (GRADE).
The research group are deeply involved in the Digital Learning Lab (DLL) at the University of Gävle.
Ongoing research
Making IT happen - A study of advanced use of digital technologies in Swedish upper secondary school (Göran Fransson in co-operation with partners at Umeå University, DR. Ola J. Lindberg och Andres D. Olofsson) 2015-2019 financed by the Swedish Research Council.
Virtual Reality in Educational Contexts. Framed by the Digital Learning Lab is explorative studies relating to the enactment and use of VR-applications in educational contexts undertaken in cooperation with various groups of teachers.
Net-based Lerning in University (Research within the project of implementing technologies and pedagogies for net-based leaning at the university of Gävle, Sweden). Three projects focusing (a) teachers enactment of ICT, (b) explorative design developing the teaching/learning of drug-calculation in nurse education, and (c) teacher students ICT-competence.
