Supporting teaching and learning in Technology-Enhanced Learning Spaces

The Joint PhD is situated within the context of the Chair Technology-Enhanced Learning Spaces (CIREL, University of Lille) and the research project on Supporting Teamwork in Ambient Learning Spaces (ITEC, imec research group at KU Leuven). The main objective of the joint PhD project is to conduct innovative research on the use of multimodal teaching and learning analytics, also called “classroom analytics” to contribute to the development of optimal learning environments. Informed by theoretical frameworks (e.g. autothetic experience, Social Facilitation Theory, Orchestration Load Theory, and Social-Cognitive Theory), and instructional design principles (e.g. Productive Failure, and the activity-centred analysis and design framework), the project aims to get insight into effective teaching and learning. Data collection will be conducted in highly ecologically valid contexts (i.e. the new learning spaces within Lille Learning Lab and within Leuven Learning Lab) and will include both quantitative and qualitative measures.
