Immersive and embodied digital environments for STEAM education

Immersion and embodiment are considered as of the most profound attributes of educational interfaces grounded on VR,AR, MR and have opened up new opportunities for STEAM education.

IoT tools and STEAM education

EdMedia-MRG will force new directions in learning and training by applying a new generation of inexpensive technologies in the era of IoT (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Arduino boards, sensors and actuators, robot construction toolkits, microbits, etc.) to allow anyone (and particular young learners) to undertake authentic projects in STEAM education.

Gaming applications and gamified STEAM learning

This direction is directly related to the contribution of the EdMedia-MRG in the iNicosia flagship project. From an educational perspective, it is important to educate people and provide them with smart and engaging applications via which they could actively involve in data collection process for enhancing the life quality in their city.

Computer-based assessment in STEAM non-formal and informal learning

EdMedia-MRG will focus on the study of ICT in facilitating the automatization of analytical procedures, provision of immediate feedback and adaptation of assessment and response.
