In 2015, I was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. My research interests include:  new conceptual frameworks and new media for learning, working, and collaborating, human-centered computing, and design. My recent work is centered on quality of life in the digital age, social creativity, meta-design, cultures of participation, design trade-offs, and rich landscapes for learning (including MOOCs).
