Inger-Marie Falgren Christensen is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Design, Media and Educational Science at the University of Southern Denmark. Using a design-based research approach, she undertakes research in the field of learning, design, and technology in higher education. Her current research involves collaboration with teachers, students, and other stakeholders around the development and evaluation of learning designs for the integration of computational thinking in the humanities and social sciences.

Lina Markauskaite is a Professor of Learning Sciences at The University of Sydney, Australia. Her research projects have been mainly concerned with understanding the nature of complex professional knowledge work and learning, and how human capabilities are entangled with digital technologies.

Nina Bonderup Dohn is a Professor at the Department of Design, Media and Educational Science, Head of the Center for Learning Computational Thinking, and Chair of the Danish Institute of Advanced Study, University of Southern Denmark. Her research integrates epistemology, learning sciences, web communication, and technology-mediated learning, focusing on tacit knowledge.

Dwayne Ripley is a PhD student at the Sydney School of Education and Social Work, The University of Sydney, Australia. His doctoral research in the learning sciences explores variation in design for interdisciplinary education, including understandings of interdisciplinarity, conceptions of its purpose, and experiences designing for interdisciplinary teaching and learning, investigating course designs, design processes, and institutional environments for design by leaders of interdisciplinary courses.

Roland Hachmann is a Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the Department of Education and School, University College South Denmark. Through design-based interventions, he examines the constraints and opportunities of technology in classrooms. He is especially focussed on Computational Literacy in K9 and works design-based and collaboratively through partnerships with teachers, educators, and teacher students.
