Specifically, I research digital literacy and inclusion at the Digital Transformation (User Centered Design) research group from a societal perspective: the digital divide and digital inequality is also an urgent social problem in the Netherlands with rapidly succeeding digital technologies and the explosive growth of AI applications in 2023. Digital inclusion is therefore a mission to which I, in collaboration with colleagues, students and the professional field, truly wish to contribute to.
1- How to design and develop inclusive and accessible digital technology for specific (vulnerable) target groups? And how can you involve these target groups in co-creation processes of digital technology with developers and other stakeholders?
2- How can you motivate (vulnerable) people to develop digital skills (basic and critical ones) and to stimulate to keep learning. And what role can gamification play in this?
At an international level, we work together with colleagues and students in a number of Erasmus+ initiatives, including IGNITION and DIFUCH under the banner of the Stars EU Alliance (European University).
At the national level, we recently (May 2023) affiliated as Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen to the 'Alliantie Digitaal Samenleven', whose mission and agenda we endorse and we look forward to fruitful cooperation with parties from all over the country.
