Our Network

Given the growing momentum of the digital education worldwide, the challenges associated to moving to online teaching and learning, and that education systems are exploring contemporary modes of teaching and learning where digital technologies play a critical role, it is crucial that we further develop research and practice in this area.

The aims of this network are twofold:

• to bring together educational researchers within Scotland and engage with a wider international research community and audience that share a common interest towards technology enhanced teaching and learning in order to form and strengthen research collaborations, develop knowledge and expertise from multiple perspectives promoting thus educational technology and digital education research.
• to disseminate research results and share good practices to better support technology integration by showcasing how our work impacts the practitioners and policy-makers across different sectors (school levels, HE/FE institutions, and other educational settings).

Network Activities

June 4th: Transforming Science Learning through Virtual Technologies. Explore how Augmented Reality (AR) and Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) enhance science education. Discover key AR design strategies and how IVR supports engagment and cognitive load management for effective learning.

2024

May 30th: Early Career Reseachers Workshop. The workshop will enable ECRs to share their latest research on digital education and the implementation of new digital technologies (e.g., teaching and learning with XR, AI, and other emergent digital platforms).

April 24th: What is deepfake learning? Traditional assessments struggle to distinguish between a learner’s use of GenAI and genuine learning.  What does this mean for teaching and learning? In this talk, the impact of GenAI on some well-established learning strategies was described.  Some solutions were proposed.
