2021-05-07 - Björn Hedin SPOTLIGHT Seminar
The SPOTLIGHT this time is on Björn Hedin who joined the Department of Learning in February 2021 as Associate Professor in "Learning in Engineering Science with a focus on Integrating Sustainable Development". Before joining the department, Björn worked as a at the department for Media Technology and Interaction Design at the EECS school at KTH. He has been program director and director of studies in media technology, and worked as a faculty pedagogical developer at KTH. In recent years his research has focused on designing and evaluating digital behaviour change interventions to support more sustainable behaviours.
In the seminar, Björn will present a paper that combines many frameworks he has used for developing and evaluating engaging digital behaviour change systems. He will also present a favourite paper that he wishes he had written, which develops one of these frameworks.
