Oskar Lindwall
Professor
Dept. of Applied IT, Division of Learning, Communication & ITAbout Oskar Lindwall
I am a Professor in Communication at the Department of Applied IT, at the University of Gothenburg.
I have a disciplinary background in cognitive science, communication studies and education. My research focuses on the use of technology in higher education, video research in the learning sciences, ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. I have conducted empirical studies of critique sessions in architecture education, lab work in science education, surgical training, YouTube tutorials, and the teaching and learning of craft.
I am the principal investigator in the following projects:
- Teaching, training and assessment of surgical skills, using human cadavers (VR), 2021-2024
- The sensitive nature of feedback as an interactional phenomenon (RJ), 2020-2022.
- Human cadavers as instructed objects and their use in anatomy teaching and surgical training (Wenner-Gren), 2019
- Online instructional videos and learning of practical skills (MAW), 2016-2019
- Technologies and techniques in the learning of endodontics (VR), 2011-2015
In this video recorded interview, produced for the International Master Program in Communication, I provide a brief outline of my research interests.
My teaching mainly concerns learning and IT, social interaction, higher education, and qualitative methods.
