My pedagogical work to date can be divided in two phases. The first concerned usability-oriented systems development in the context of software engineering at Linköping University. Since 1996, I have concentrated mainly on developing a studio-based pedagogical practice and PhD studies in interaction design.
This page is a list of my pedagogical activities, on undergraduate and graduate levels within academia.
Pedagogical publications, including teaching materials, are listed on the publications page.
