Who is the person speaking?
Hello,
My full name is Athina Kardiakou. I was born in Athens, Greece, where i was raised and studied. Before coming here, I was working towards a BSc degree in Informatics & Telecommunications. Alongside my main studies, I also completed the Pedagogical and Teaching Competence program that my university offered, which ultimately got me involved in education!
In an educational setting, I've worked mostly as an Editor for K-12 Computing & ICT books,but also as a Robotics & Coding Tutor and very briefly as a Game Design and Coding Remote Tutor for primary students.
After my graduation I had the time to reflect on my academic journey and realize that I was lacking important knowledge and insight around Learning Sciences and Educational Technology, since it had not been my main field of study until then.
Upon researching for Master's programs abroad in my new field of interest, the Learning, Education and Technology (LET) program was the only one that I could really see myself fitting in, as a student with a diverse scientific background.
This is a close-to-realistic visualization of the path from my house to the university. It aims to convey the beginning of my journey here, exploring the environment outside of the University of Oulu, with many areas being black boxes for the time-being.

So here I am! In the summer of 2024, I moved to Oulu, Finland, to attend LET. So now, my time and life is divided between Greece and Finland, having permanent stays in both countries. If you want to find out more about me, read my official Curriculum Vitae and the overview of Oulu LET section.
During the first year of my MA LET studies, I started this website to monitor my progress, and use it as my Learning Environment. The expanding volume of the materials gathered, imposed a necessary reformation resulting to the current shape, serving also the need to use it, as my personal website! Due to the demanding program i have to follow, some website sections although functional, are currently missing contents.
Thank you for being here, enjoy your visit!
