I am a Ph.D. in Comparative and International Development Education from the University of Minnesota – Dept. of Organizational Leadership, Policy and Development. My dissertation was on educational policy and decision makers’ use of foresight programs to support future-oriented long-term policy making.
What I do:
University Of Iceland – School of Education: Adjunct lecturer in educational technology, innovation and media. Teach courses on educational technology, AI literacy and AI in education, educational change, online/distance education, education futures. Research interests: Education futures, educational technology, AI in learning environments.
Consulting: I do consulting work for educational institutions and organizations on matters relating to educational development, information technology in education and international education.
What motivates me?
I see myself as an optimistic education “futurizer”. My primary interest is in education futures and how they can be used to inform policy and decision making processes. Thus my approach to education futures is a very practical one. My main concern is identifying means to effectively facilitate the transfer of knowledge generated by education futurists to educational policy making processes.
The Education4site.org web site contains a range of my thoughts and ideas on matters relating to education, technology, globalization, and more.
