My main research interests are distance education and the educational use of digital video technologies. I am a member of a group in the research programme for online education and digitalisation at Dalarna University. Our next project is to identify the key factors of digital competence for higher quality online education using synchronous web conferencing to promote higher quality and better student retention.
