Dissemination

The project in Umeå has been the subject of a research study carried out by a doctoral student, Carina Granberg. In her prior work she during the academic year 2006/2007 she studied the implementation process of ICT and pedagogical documentation in teacher education by observing the IUP-project at Umeå University. A paper based on the IUP-project was presented at the ECER 2008 conference in Ghent, Belgium, September 2007 (Granberg, 2007) and another on the P@rable project at the ECER 2009 conference in Gothenburg, September 2008 (Granberg, 2008).
