Our current research interests include two main topics; the development of mobile and wireless applications to support collaborative learning and the design of interactive learning environments to support collaborative discovery learning about complex domains. Our research approach can be characterized by the elaboration of innovative applications in educational scenarios and in workplace settings to support intellectual teamwork. The focus of our particular research efforts in these domains are oriented towards the exploration of new design approaches and innovative uses of mobile and ubiquitous technologies (including topics such as contextual information and mobile services, digital media content, positioning and visualization techniques) in a variety of collaborative educational settings. Our work is conducted in projects that are financed by a number of foundations both in Sweden and abroad. We also work very close in collaboration with local and international companies.
