Lotta Aavikko

I am a PhD and project researcher at the University of Eastern Finland. My research interests include promoting inclusion in society, both in my dissertation from the perspective of digital inclusion of older people and people with developmental disabilities, and in various projects, for example on support for children in early childhood education and digital literacy of teachers. Previously I have analysed focus group interviews with peer tutors in digital literacy for older people, conducted observational research on digital support network workshops, and collected unique material from peer tutors in digital literacy for people with developmental disabilities remotely, using AAC support methods. Lastly, I interviewed peer tutors of digital literacy for older people in individual and pair interviews in Teams as part of a project we conducted with the Centre of Excellence in Ageing and Care Research (CoE AgeCare) at the University of Jyväskylä.
