Måned: april 2026

I dag holdt Julian Sefton-Green (Deakin University, School of Education) en forelesning i #ReflectionStudio. Utgangspunktet var mobilforbud og aldersregulering i Australia.

💡 Mye av det han tok opp er veldig relevant også i Norge, der #skjermdebatten er høyt på agendaen. Forbud framstilles ofte som en løsning, men Julian stilte spørsmål ved hva det faktisk vil si at et slikt tiltak er vellykket. Handler «success» om mindre skjermbruk? Bedre søvn? Mer trivsel? Endrede vennskap?

🤔 Hvem har ansvar for at et forbud lykkes i praksis – myndighetene som lager loven, selskapene som skal håndheve den, eller foreldre som må følge opp i hverdagen?

Han pekte også på mulige utilsiktede konsekvenser, særlig for barn i sårbare eller isolerte situasjoner, og på at regulering kanskje bør rette seg mer mot plattformenes design, ikke bare mot barnas bruk.

Thank you Julian for such an inspiring lecture! #skjermdebatt

On April 14, 2026 we celebrated ReflectionStudio’s first anniversary — a new space dedicated to simulation, experimentation, and inquiry at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University,
#GFU. This research and practice arena opens up new possibilities for student teachers, school teachers, educators, and educational researchers to experiment with pedagogical innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. The aim is to foster critical reflection on the use of technology‑enhanced teaching and learning.

Throughout the day, hands‑on workshops showed the potential of #ReflectionStudio across several stations, including VR experiences, programming activities, and demonstrations of our technical equipment for data collection, alongside opportunities to share feedback.

Later, project leader Rolf Steier, together with postdocs Morgane Domanchin and Linda Undrum, discussed the origins of ReflectionStudio as well as their ongoing work connected to it. Our research partner Hilde Wågsås Afdal from the #KITES project also raised some interesting future use of ReflectionStudio for developing scenario-based simulations.

🍀 The next step is to build a community around ReflectionStudio so that this arena is actively used and becomes highly relevant for its community. To be continued… 🤞

Many thanks to our research group Digital Learning Arenas (#DLA) led by Siv Aalbergsjø & Dr. Halla Holmarsdottir, #GFU, and OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University for supporting us in this adventure!
