Presentation

Anna-Lena Godhe obtained a PhD in Applied Information Technology with specialization in Educational Sciences in 2014. Anna-Lena's PhD-project concerned the use of digital technologies within language education. With different digital technologies it is today possible and fairly easy for students in a classroom to create texts consisting of several modes, such as images and sound. This challenges what the concept of literacy entails in an educational setting and how to assess texts where several kinds of expressions are used. Another area of research that Anna-Lena has worked with concerns questions about the professional development of teachers in relation to the integration of digital technology in educational settings. Anna-Lena will be involved in a reserach project finansed by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (2021-2023). The project is done in collaboration with the municipality of Malmö and focuses on the digitalization of pre-schools, primary and secondary school.
