Emergent Practices and Material Conditions in Learning and Teaching with Technologies

Dr. Teresa Cerratto Pargman is an Associate Professor of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University in Sweden. Since 2016, she has been the Head of the Interaction Design and Learning Research Unit at this university. Her research is situated within the field of HCI and seeks to contribute to the study of how digital technologies reflect and configure established practices and how emergent practices shape the development and design of contemporary technologies. In this field, Dr. Cerratto Pargman has aimed to contribute to issues that are central to technology enhanced learning, computer-supported collaborative learning, and sustainable HCI. She leads and participates in several national and international research projects. Most recently, she led the Purposeful Learning Across Collaborative Educational Spaces project in Stockholm, which was funded by the Swedish Research Council during 2013–2016. Currently, she is participating in the EU Ground Truth 2.0 project, which is focused on the topic of the co-design of sociotechnical platforms and citizen science (2017–2019), and in the ongoing regional project Make IT Happen, which focuses on programming and computational thinking.

Since 2015, Isa Jahnke is the Director of the Information Experience Lab (IE Lab) at the University of Missouri, a usability and user experience (UX) lab: ielab.missouri.edu. Her research projects focus on learning with technologies. She received awards and grants as a professor in Germany, Sweden, and the USA. In Germany, she led the creativity study of the DaVinci project funded by the German Ministry of Research and Education. She was the Project Leader of the European project called PeTEX, “Platform for E-learning and Telemetric Experimentation,” in manufacturing engineering across three countries, Sweden, Italy, and Germany, which was funded by the European Union. She was the Principal Investigator (PI) of “Digital Didactical Designs” (2014–2016) funded by the Swedish Research Council, in which the team studied tablet/iPad classrooms. In 2016–2017, she led a project of “learning expeditions” to study students as designers for learning (MU Interdisciplinary Innovations Fund). Dr. Jahnke received a US National Science Foundation award (2018–2020) as the Co-PI for studying cybersecurity practices and developing material for educators (PI is Dr. Prasad Calyam). Dr. Jahnke has 110 publications and has made 13 keynote speeches, including one in Norway in 2018 attended by 1400 teachers and school leaders. Her website is www.isa-jahnke.com.

"Cerratto Pargman and Jahnke's work attempts to theoretically and empirically shed new light ... . The broad perspective on how different categories of practices are socially elaborated in relation to specific technologies is valuable. ... this rich contribution needs to be situated in the current momentum, where scholars from various educational perspectives engage with teaching and learning practices with technology."
