As a member of the Technologies for Learning and Development research group at the School of Computing, my PhD research was on developing a Technology Enhanced Knowledge Management Model for Higher Education and Research in Developing countries. It focused on a case study in the UbuntuNet Alliance Research and Education Network in the Eastern and Southern African Countries.
My research interest is in designing and developing technology-enhanced collaboration platforms for research and teaching-learning in developing countries’ higher education, which also addresses prevailing challenges in the local contexts beyond the technology tools and capabilities. Moreover, I am interested in research related to ICT engagement in teaching-learning in general and in technology integration in higher education pedagogy as well.
During my PhD study, I was working for the school of computing on a research project called ‘Vauhtia Uralle’ that aims to provide flexible paths to the skills needs of a working life, mainly for young graduates. I was also representing UEF in the Erasmus + project called ‘TRUE – Transparency of Learning Outcomes through Blockchain Technology’, a consortium project of 8 European Institutions from academia and technology industry.
Currently I am a postdoc researcher, teaching at the School of Computing and also engaged in a couple of new European consortium research projects of the department.
