Our Work

Collaborative research and development

Our work brings together educational questions, research, design and implementation. We collaborate with schools, MOE colleagues, researchers and other partners to investigate how learning spaces, immersive technologies, interactives and media can support teaching and learning.

Projects may begin with a research question, a school need, an emerging technology or an opportunity to translate evidence into practice. Across these starting points, we aim to make the educational purpose explicit, involve relevant users and partners, and share what is learned in forms that others can use.

How work is represented

  • Every work page states its purpose, status, partners and Research Group contribution.
  • Ongoing work distinguishes intended outcomes, observations and preliminary findings.
  • Completed work links to publications, guides, presentations and reusable outputs.
  • Where a project is seeking partners, the opportunity and appropriate contact are clearly stated.

Digital simulation-based lessons and metacognition in mathematics

This study examines how digital simulation-based lessons may support metacognition in mathematics. The project has a direct connection to the Research Group's expertise in interactive learning experiences and to planned workshops that may translate the work for schools. Full project details are being finalised with the project team.

Using generative AI to enthuse reluctant readers

This collaborative study explores whether and how generative AI might support engagement among learners who are reluctant to read. The project is led by ELLB, with the Research Group contributing in a role that must be specified for the public page. Full project details are being finalised with the project team.

Healthy-lifestyle habit building with AI vision recognition

This collaborative study investigates the use of AI vision recognition in relation to healthy-lifestyle habit building. The public page should foreground the educational and behavioural purpose, while explaining the technology only to the degree needed to understand the intervention. Full project details are being finalised with the project team.

Learning-space design support for schools

The Research Group engages schools in exploratory discussions and support related to learning-space design. This is best represented as an ongoing programme rather than as a single project. Full project details are being finalised with the project team.

Multimodal historical-recreation project advisory

This partner project involves advisory work on a multimodal historical recreation, potentially connecting historical evidence, spatial or immersive representation, media and learner interaction. The exact purpose and Research Group role require confirmation. Full project details are being finalised with the project team.

Reading habits of youths

This longitudinal project investigates the reading habits of young people. Its multi-year duration creates an opportunity to examine patterns, changes and contextual influences over time. Full project details are being finalised with the project team.
