Ammar Bahadur Singh is a postdoctoral researcher in higher education pedagogy. He holds a PhD in education with focus on digital/online pedagogy from the University of Oslo. His work critically examines social and collaborative learning, human and technological agency, and epistemic practices in digitally mediated environments. The central focus on his study is how agency in teaching and learning emerges in and through collaborative activities and how technologies assist participants in enacting and developing their agency in collaborative meaning making practices.  He has good experience in designing, facilitating, and researching online and blended learning environments, with a particular focus on how pedagogical designs shape agency, knowledge construction, and professional identity in higher education.
