Who am I
My name is Karsten Lundqvist and I am an academic staff member in the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
What is the aim of the projects behind the apps
I am studying two things.
I am developing tools that can be used to teach te reo Maori. I am a learner myself, and there are too few tools around. While doing this I am using the data to improve the tools and the pedagogical methods behind the tools.
Secondly I am also studying how Maori culture can be used to enhance computer science and engineering understanding.
