Dr. Eckerdal received her MSc and PhD from Uppsala University, Sweden. Eckerdal's research has focused on how programming students learn concepts and practical skills in the lab, but include research e.g. on computing at school, threshold concepts in computer science, how academics and students perceive MOOCs, and how students learn software design.
Eckerdal has received research grants from The Swedish Research Council and ACM SIGCSE and is currently leading a research project on learning and brain, collaborating with researchers in neuro science. She is active in the international research community, serving on the programme and organising committees of several major conferences, initiating long standing research collaborations Sweden Group, and has invited a number of international known researchers to UpCERG. Eckerdal has more than 50 publications.
