About Charlott Sellberg

Charlott Sellberg is Professor of Information Technology and Learning at the Department of Applied Information Technology, University of Gothenburg. She has a background in Cognitive Science and earned her PhD in Education at the University of Gothenburg. Her research focuses on learning in safety-critical and technology-intensive environments, with particular emphasis on professional education and training. She investigates how digital tools can support the development of expertise and how teaching and assessment practices shape professional learning. Through ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and video-based interaction analysis, she studies how knowledge and skills develop across different contexts. In addition to her research, Sellberg is actively engaged in professional development for teachers, where she teaches about the impact of digitalisation on education and society, with a particular focus on AI technologies.
