Overview

Special Interests

Multi-layered representation of trust in digital spaces as well as a new idea and technical realization of trust management for digital objects is one of my special interests in the broad field of Digital Humanities.

Furthermore, I am particularly interested in digital teaching and learning, as well as future-oriented methods in the field of mobile, agile and interdisciplinary academic learning.
