This Thursday at Community Breakfast, we had the pleasure of meeting Puck, Product Manager at MOSO, a Norwegian software company working with digital learning platforms.
Puck gave us a thoughtful look into her work with product development, education, practical training, and her new chapter in Copenhagen.
At the centre of her work is one clear purpose: helping universities follow and support students while they are learning in real professional environments.
Building a Platform for Practice
MOSO develops digital platforms for universities in Norway and Sweden.
The platform helps follow students during their practical training, for example when nursing students, midwives, dentists, teachers, or other students are doing part of their education outside the university.
As Puck explained, a large part of many health educations happens in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, or other workplaces. Students are sent into practice to train, learn, receive feedback, and fulfil specific requirements.
Before systems like MOSO, much of that process could be difficult to track. In some cases, important documentation was still handled with pen and paper.
Puck shared the example of midwife students, who need to document that they have been present at a certain number of births. In the past, that could mean carrying a physical paper around for a long period of time, collecting signatures along the way.
MOSO helps digitalise that process and gives students, supervisors, and universities a clearer overview.
Much More Than Product Management
Puck started at MOSO around three years ago, first working on a project to map how different educations organise their practical studies.
That mapping later helped shape the platform itself.
Today, her work as Product Manager includes product development, implementation of new customers, and connecting user needs with the development team.
The role also means doing a little bit of everything. Or, as Puck said, what they call in Norway an “office potato”.
In Denmark, we might call it an octopus.
Either way, it is a role that requires flexibility, curiosity, structure, and the ability to understand both people and systems.
Supporting Different Learning Journeys
One of the interesting parts of Puck’s talk was how much variation exists between different educations.
Some need to track practical requirements very precisely. Others focus more on reflections, feedback, learning outcomes, supervision, attendance, or video-based learning.
MOSO is built around different modules, so universities can choose what fits their education best.
That makes Puck’s role especially important. She helps understand what users need and translate those needs into a product that works in practice.
For students, the platform can become a kind of portfolio, showing learning outcomes, feedback, requirements, reflections, and progress throughout their education.
For universities, it creates a clearer way to support learning, follow development, and make sure important requirements are met.
A New Chapter in Copenhagen
Puck recently moved to Copenhagen, partly because she wanted to try living in Denmark and partly because she is doing a 200-hour yoga teacher training.
She has visited Copenhagen many times before and liked the city, but moving here gave her a chance to experience it in a new way.
Alongside her product work, the yoga teacher training has become an important part of this new chapter.
The training combines practice, theory, philosophy, anatomy, and many hours of self-practice. Puck is currently learning different types of yoga, including Yin, Hatha, and Vinyasa.
Product Work and Yoga Practice
At first glance, product management and yoga might seem like two very different worlds.
But there are some clear connections.
Both require attention, structure, patience, and the ability to understand where people are starting from.
In product work, Puck helps build tools that support learning journeys. In yoga, she is learning how to support people through movement, breath, and practice.
Both are about guidance, development, and creating better conditions for people to grow.
Puck shared that she especially enjoys Vinyasa, the more flowing and active type of yoga, although she also admitted that Yin might be what she should do more of.
Why It Matters
Puck’s story was a reminder that good products are not only built around features.
They are built around people, needs, learning, feedback, and real situations.
Her work at MOSO shows how technology can support education in the moments where learning becomes practical, personal, and hands-on.
It was also a reminder that new chapters can begin in many ways: through work, a new city, a training course, or the decision to follow a curiosity further.
We are very happy to have Puck as part of the Republikken community.
Thank you for sharing your story, Puck, and for giving us a thoughtful and inspiring look into product management, practical education, and the beginning of a new yoga journey in Copenhagen.
