Magnus Hontvedt - Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge

I work with teaching and learning in primary and higher education. As an educator, I am committed to creating engaging learning and collaboration processes, and as a researcher, I study how such processes can be developed and supported. A central focus of my work is how technology can contribute to learning – in the classroom, in professional education, and in the workplace. My research has explored topics such as oral assessment, technology-supported collaborative learning, and the use of simulations in professional education.
