Center for Digital Education

The Center for Digital Education (CDE) was established in the fall of 2019 as a collaborative effort between the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Science Education at the University of Copenhagen. CDE connects and supports experts in computer science and STEM education in the joint exploration of the possibilities and consequences of the digitisation of educational processes and institutions.  

Research themes

  • Learning analytics
  • Implementation of digital tools
  • Computer science education
  • Digital technologies and STEM

Ambitions

CDE has a strong research profile in technology comprehension and digitisation in specific areas in the educational system. We contribute to both departments' overall teaching portfolio that promotes teachers 'and students' digital competencies internally at the university and other institutions (primary school, high school and teacher education programs).

Students Projects

Do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to hear more or if you have an idea for a proposal that fits the scope of CDE.

We are also happy to supervise student projects related to the digitisation of education or the research themes listed above. Please feel free to reach out if you have an idea for a project, a thesis proposal or the like (see contact information in the column to the right).
