Stephanie Hoebeke

Stephanie Hoebeke serves as an Assistant Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University within the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design and the Department of Art, Design and Drama. Her academic work is connected to the Research Group for Design Literacy Education and Society, focusing on the intersection of creative disciplines and educational practices.

Dr. Hoebeke's research centers on integrating digital technologies into traditional art and design education frameworks. She investigates how programming can function as a creative medium rather than merely a technical tool, exploring pedagogical approaches that bridge computational thinking with artistic expression. Her work examines design literacy development in educational contexts and the evolving nature of creative practice in the digital age.

Her recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward hybrid educational methodologies that combine physical workshop environments with digital tools. The 2024 dissemination 'Mitt hybride verksted' and 2021 publication 'Programming as a New Creative Material in Art and Design Education' both address innovative approaches to creative education that maintain tactile, experiential learning while incorporating technological advancements.

Dr. Hoebeke's scholarship contributes to understanding how educational institutions can prepare students for creative careers in increasingly technology-integrated fields, with particular attention to maintaining the essential hands-on aspects of art and design education while embracing digital innovation.
