Hege Yvonne Hermansen

Academic interests

My research interests include knowledge work in the professions, teaching and learning in higher education, program design and development in professional education and the interrelationships between professional knowledge, autonomy and responsibility. I teach courses on teaching and learning in higher education, and have contributed to a range of projects and initiatives aimed at strengthening educational quality in higher education. 

At LINK, I lead the E-Pal project (Equipping Palestine with E-learning), which is a six-year research and development project financed by Norads program for capacity development in higher education (NORHEDII). The main aim of the project is to strengthen the pedagogical use of digital technologies in the Palestinian higher education sector. The project is carried out in collaboration with Palestine Polytechnic University in Hebron, University College of Applied Sciences in Gaza and OsloMet. 

I have a PhD in Education from the University of Oslo, and am associated with Centre for the Study of Professions at OsloMet.
