Learning and Training
How can we better understand advances in the digital technologies for education, collaboration and well-being?
To help answer this question, mediaX sponsored four research projects that explored the use of emerging interactive technologies for learning, behavior change and collaboration. Research initiatives included a project that enabled language learners to practice conversation with an interactive system capable of feedback and evaluation, as well as a project leveraging the power of learning by teaching, by having students engage with an interactive teachable agent. Other projects explored the potential for behavior change with interactive narrative experiences delivered via mobile devices, and examined the effect of audio latency and delay on networked musical collaboration.
