About Annika Lantz-Andersson

Annika Lantz-Andersson is Professor of Education at the University of Gothenburg. Her research is grounded in socio-historical and socio-material traditions, with a particular focus on how humans co-construct and transform socio-technical contexts. She examines the educational consequences of digitalisation, with an emphasis on how teaching, learning, and the teaching profession are reshaped in the interplay between human expertise and digital technologies. Methodologically, her work draws on design-based and practice-oriented educational research, combined with video documentation and interactional analyses, as well as thematic and interview-based approaches.

Her research spans multiple educational levels and includes studies of technology-supported teaching, as well as analyses of how prevailing conceptualisations of participation, learning, and competence may be challenged and redefined. She has carried out several research projects on young people’s participation and learning in contemporary media ecologies. A significant strand of her research also concerns the teaching profession, in particular teachers’ professional digital competence and the ways in which digital technologies shape their work. In addition, she has a broader interest in the ways digitalisation is transforming higher education.

Annika’s research also involves the exploration of innovative technologies, such as virtual laboratories and applications of virtual reality (VR), including the use of underwater VR in marine education.

Her current projects focus on teachers’ professional digital competence and on the structural transformation processes brought about by digitalisation within higher education. She has also collaborated in several interdisciplinary research networks, including LearnIT (2000–2009), the LinCS Centre of Excellence (2006–2019), the University of Gothenburg’s LETStudio (2010–2020), DigiChild (2018–2020), and the UVROL Network (2024–2026
