About
Ole Sejer Iversen is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of educational technology, creativity, and the maker movement. His scholarship explores how hands-on, constructive activities in both digital and physical spaces can transform learning experiences, fostering deeper engagement, joy, and creative thinking in students. Iversen has been a prominent advocate for integrating "making" — the design and production of tangible and digital artifacts — into formal and informal educational contexts, arguing that such processes cultivate not only technical skills but also intrinsic motivation and imaginative capacity. His most influential contribution, "Entertainment, engagement, and education: Foundations and developments in digital and physical spaces to support learning through making" (2017), has garnered 31 citations and serves as a foundational text in the emerging field of maker-based education. Through organizing and leading the Make2Learn international workshop series, Iversen has helped build a scholarly community dedicated to understanding and advancing maker pedagogies. His editorial work, including a special issue on maker technologies in learning, further demonstrates his role as a connector and catalyst within this research community. For students and educators interested in innovative, participatory approaches to learning, Iversen's body of work offers both theoretical grounding and practical inspiration.
