Thomas Ryberg is Professor of PBL and digital learning and Director of Institute for Advanced Study in PBL (IAS PBL). His primary research interests arewithin the fields of Networked Learning and Problem Based Learning (PBL). In particular, he is interested in Problem Based Learning, and how new media and technologies transform our ways of thinking about and designing for networked and hybrid Learning. He is co-chair of the International Networked Learning Conference and co-editor of the Springer book series `Research in Networked Learning”. He has participated in European and international research projects and networks (EQUEL, Kaledioscope, COMBLE, Place Me, EATrain2, ODEdu), and in development projects in South East Asia and Latin America (VISCA, VO@NET, ELAC). He was recently engaged in the PBL future project which is developing new directions for PBL in a digital age. Maarten de Laat is Professor and Director at the Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning (C3L), University of South Australia. His research focuses on learning and value creation in social networks. He uses practice-based research methodologies tostudy the impact technology, AI, learning analytics and social design has on the way social networks and communities work, learn and innovate. Maarten is co-chair of the international Networked Learning Conference and editor of the Springer book series on Research in Networked Learning.
