I started my path as a PhD student at the Department of Education, Communication and Learning in January 2020. Just half a year before that I graduated from the International Master’s Program in IT and Learning, so I was very excited to come back to the Department in a new role.
I joined the SOCDEX project that is led by Thomas Hillman and Markus Nivala. The project aims to explore how online communities contribute to the development of expertise in programming. I am interested in the forms of peer feedback in such communities and the role that they play in expertise development practices.
It has been very enriching experience so far and I look forward to the fall semester to continue with the project, meet my colleagues (hopefully in person soon) and get to know new PhD students.
