Module aim (aims)

The laboratory is designed to provide students with insight into the mechanisms that power the human learning process and the skills to apply this knowledge in designing innovative and effective learning environments. It emphasizes practical application, focusing on technology-based environments but also considering other contexts. Students will gain skills in various design aspects, including creating visuals, interactive video production/editing, designing feedback mechanisms and usability analysis.

Pre-requisites in terms of knowledge, skills and social competences (where relevant)
