Trond Aalberg
Background and activities
Associate Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science, Data and Artificial Intelligence Group.
My main research is on methods and techniques to make content available, searchable and accessible in the context of user needs. Current research is on metadata and ontologies, covering semantic descriptions of contents, search services and search strategies, and crowdsourcing and collaborative creation. Additionally, I have a focus on learning technologies and innovative learning activities environments.
I have been teaching various courses at the bachelor and master level specialization. Many students know me from the introductory course in C++, but currently I am responsible for a course in Web Development (IT2810) and a continuing education course in programming for teachers (IT6201).
In the period 2013-2016 I have been deputy head of the Department of Computer and Information Science with responsibility for teaching and education and I have been head of Computer and Information Science study program board and leader of the study programs in Informatics, Computer Science and Information Systems in the period 2009-2017.
Currently, I am participating in the nationally funded Excited SFU as leader for the project "Projects of becoming" and leader for NTNU Beta project on early adoptation of innovative learning technologies.
