Background
- Research interests include the conditions and competences needed for the successful utilization of digital media for knowledge processes and how these can be provided; the role of innovative cognitive interfaces in knowledge processes; how digitalization changes social and motivational factors of knowledge exchange and usage; and how a group of people constructs new knowledge.
