I have a M.Ed. from University of Helsinki and I'm a doctoral candidate at University of Tampere. I've been teaching ICT throughout the 1990s, practising eLearning and developing the prerequisites for eLearning within higher education since 2001. During 2015-2018 I was assigned as Head of IT and since 2019, I'm assigned as Researcher in Education, with the task to support the development of educational practices at Arcada. My research interest concerns how ICT, media and the ubiquitous access to information may have changed the way we view knowledge and learning, so called epistemic beliefs.
