LECTURES AND PRESENTATIONS

I am currently giving approximately one presentation or lecture per month on topics related to eLearning and startup-companies, such as adoption patterns of this new innovation in universities and corporations, organizational aspects of startup companies, eLearning design variables, and possible future scenarios for this fast-growing industry.

DOCTORAL DISSERTATION

"Professors' Adoption and Implementation of Problem-based Learning"
Adviser: Professor Edwin Bridges, Ph.D., School of Education, Stanford University

The study assesses individual change within an organizational framework, and is based on in-depth interviews with professors who were attending a seminar on problem-based learning (PBL) in 1993. It analyzes their journey through the innovation-decision process, specifically if and how they use PBL.

PUBLISHED ARTICLES

Numerous articles in the Norwegian magazine "Schola" (Published by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research), for example:

"Livet etter eksamen": The use of problem-based learning in higher education

"Problembasert læring i rektorutdanningen": The use of problem-based learning in educational administration
