Ulf Hedestig (foto) My name is Ulf Hedestig and have been working at the department since 1988.Currently I am Director of undergraduate education and a teacher in courses connected to the field of HCI and CSCW/CSCL. My research interest is within ICT and learning, especially with a focus on Computer Support for Collaborative Learning. During the recent years I have been particpating in research projects in ICT and learning, that mainly has been focused on mobile devices and personal technologies. Another research topic has been development of learning centres and study centres for distance learning.

Research projects and activities

• Evaluation of TILLIT project - a project between municipalities and county counsil within eHealth.

• Evaluation of Citizen e-service in the municipality of Skellefteå. Fall 2006.

• Crossmedia design project. An Interreg project together with partners in Norway and Academy North. (Financed by Interreg Mittskandia 2006-2007)

• Personal Technologies in User-Centered Design of Collaborative Activities for Decentralized Education. (2003 financed by the Council for the Renewal of Higher Education)
