Education
Our passion is researching how to design creative and innovative solutions that can support teaching and learning.
Our team of researchers collaborate closely with the teaching community on how to improve future education and support teaching and learning. We are interested in all levels of education, from preparatory years up to university level, and strive towards creating a positive teaching and learning experience.
In our projects we collaborate with international and national researchers, tertiary educators, governments and communities, as well as with local school communities.
Our research philosophies are:
- Designing in partnership with expert users - the educators and students
- Affordable and sustainable design
- Evaluating usability and user acceptance of educational technologies
