At NR, we research various aspects of digital learning and develop e-learning tools to facilitate positive and effective learning experiences<\/strong>. While learning is often associated with formal education settings, such as schools, courses and seminars, it can also take place informally \u2014 through self-study, in museums and science centres, at the workplace, or during rehabilitation. Our primary focus is to ensure that digital teaching aids are universally designed and accessible to all users.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessible digital learning environments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, the digitalisation of learning brings distinct challenges. Digital teaching aids that are universally designed and accessible requires robust technical accessibility and optimal usability. We leverage our extensive experience in universal design of ICT and expertise in digital inclusion to identify key issues and propose effective solutions. Personalisation is central to the solutions we develop, which ensures learning tools that can be adapted to suit individual needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovative learning technologies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We explore innovative learning methods and technologies that extend beyond traditional approaches, including social robots, serious games, gamification, and microlearning. We also look at immersive experiences like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and extended reality (XR) to enhance learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Informal learning environments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have significant experience with learning in museums and science centres. These environments present exciting opportunities to optimalise visitor engagement and learning outcomes through multimodal experiences that stimulate multiple senses at once, and interactive exhibits that encourage active participation. We also explore the benefits of shared learning experiences, such as group activities like games and competitions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Evaluating learning effectiveness and user engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Learning takes many forms, making it essential to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of teaching methods and tools. We use a range of evaluation techniques, including measuring user engagement and motivation, utilising machine interpretation to assess individuals’ moods based on facial expressions in videos, and implementing specialised educational frameworks, such as SCERTS (Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Support), for people on the autism spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
