Biography：
Wilfried Admiraal, a full-time professor at the Centre for Professional Studies at Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway. His research interests cover teaching, teacher education, teachers and the teaching profession. His current projects involve the attrition of early-career and late-career teachers, schools as safe and democratic learning environments, and the information literacy of students and teachers.
Abstract:
Over recent years, the use of technology has become commonplace in all sectors of education, whether or not combined with on-site teaching in school. While some claim that this experience speeded up the use of technology in teaching and learning, one might also argue that our thinking about the use of technology that enhances teaching and learning in school has been impaired. The use of technology in teaching changed and will change our students’ engagement with learning. In this lecture, I will present some research projects about digital games, virtual reality, online feedback, online social interaction, and discuss various forms of technology use in teaching and learning in both school and university. I also want to focus on developments in AI and consequences for teaching and learning.
