Technology is transforming the ways in which we interact with knowledge and information. In a hyperconnected world with ever-present virtual assistants, what does knowing facts and skills really mean? With and abundance of digital learning options, what are the best ways to learn and become agents of critical knowledge?

The education system is changing, and the nordic #EdTech startup scene is blooming. But more often than not the technology obscures the heart of the matter - how do we really create the best forms for learning and the application of it?

Sahra-Josephine Hjorth is a member of the SingularityU Norcis faculty and a ground breaking developer of digital learning solutions. She a PHD fellow at Aalborg University and a co-founder of CanopyLAB – a leading adaptive learning company.

Sahra-Josephine is an expert on converging technologies and how these are applied in learning contexts to design personalized and adaptive learning experiences that empower end-users to improve their lives. In her PhD research work, Sahra-Josephine mapped that we learn in more than 40 different ways in the physical classroom. This stands in contrast to digital learning settings that on average only enable five different ways of learning.
