Guro Handeland & Johannes Fatland Skjeie

Studentene Guro Handeland og Johannes Fatland Skjeie – fra Forskningslinja på Institutt på informatikk, Universitetet i Oslo – drar deg gjennom sitt aller første forskningsprosjekt; å undersøke praksisene på det nettbaserte felleskapet til organisasjonen HISP.
