I work in University of Tampere, TRIM as Project Researcher in an ESF funded project called AVO2 - Avoimuudesta voimaa oppimisverkostoihin. TRIM coordinates and participates in a subproject called Kolmiulotteiset ja mobiilit oppimis- ja osallistumisympäristöt (3DM), which concentrates on three-dimensional and mobile learning and participation environments. The main interest of TRIM is on Augmented Reality (AR), especially on issues such as how AR can be successfully used as a part of learning and different activities. During the project span (2012-2012) 2-3 pilots will be carried out, events and training organized and publications produced. TRIM is also responsible for carrying out the project research, which is included in AVO2 to support the accomplishment of the project goals with systematic development activities and to create new, practical knowledge about the content of the project.

During 2009-2011 I worked as Project Researcher in another ESF funded project called Open Networks for Learning (AVO) which was the predecessor of AVO2. The University of Tampere was responsible for a subproject Wikis and blogs in teaching and learning and developmental research of AVO project as a whole.

I am interested in Augmented Reality (AR) and Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) and virtual worlds (e.g. Second Life) and and their role in promoting learning.

See my introductory page (in Finnish). There you can find a link to my professional blog which I only write in Finnish. I have also got an English semi-professional blog Joanna's techno-pedagogical blog, but unfortunately, I write far too seldom in it.

I study Information Technology in LUT Department of Information Technology.
