I am a Senior Lecturer in Higher Education Pedagogies at the University of Jyväskylä. My work focuses on developing university teaching and supporting teachers' pedagogical expertise, particularly in the areas of future and working life skills, the pedagogical use of educational technology, and the ethical application of Artificial Intelligence.
I teach and study how Higher Education teachers can support students in using AI in ethical, critical, and purposeful ways. My particular interests include future competence needs, skills required in working life, and how technology can best support learning, critical thinking, equity, and the development of expertise.
A key platform for advancing higher education teaching at our university is JYULearn, which forms part of the university’s strategic educational development initiatives. Within JYULearn, I lead the Multimodal Pedagogy and Purposeful Learning Environments -project and AI and Future Skills working group. I am also actively involved in international networks and development projects such as FORTHEM NEXUS where I lead a task about future skills. In addition, I am a member of other national and international networks that focus on Higher Education pedagogies, future skills and ethical use of AI.
Alongside my role as a Senior Lecturer, I work as an internal Coach at JYU. In my coaching practice, I am particularly passionate about helping teachers identify their strengths and enhance their professional motivation, pedagogical confidence, and enjoyment of teaching. I believe that the most meaningful learning experiences emerge when expertise, purpose, and continuous growth come together.
