The project A Literary History of Värmland serves a number of purposes. One aim concerns university policy and emphasises the way in which Karlstad University is responsible for and situated in the local cultural environment of the province of Värmland. This is done through making a significant part of its history available to the general public, in a work of literary history which can be used in teaching, museums, tourism, and other contexts in the region and further afield.
Within Rose, research is conducted within a number of different projects where the starting point is that questions about social, economic and environmentally sustainable societal development need to be posed in relation to teaching and learning. ROSE has a clear socially relevant focus in its research with a focus on exploring areas from a comparative subject didactic perspective.

At the Australian HCI conference this year, we had a shortpaper on important factors that influence the sustainability of Wizard-of-Oz tools.
The Wizard-of-Oz method has been utilized to conduct prototyping without programming for several decades. However, a literature review by John Sören Pettersson and Malin Wik (doi: 10.1145/2838739.2838825) reveals that tools supporting the method seem to be decommissioned after just a couple of years.
