Learning & Educational Technology
Situated Research aims to uncover ways of leveraging new technologies to improve education: assisting in the design and implementation of technologies that both motivate and create vivid experiences for learners.
Our understanding of immersive technologies and pedagogy will give you a competitive advantage: we specialize in designing learning environments where every potential for learning to occur is exploited to its fullest potential, and participants have fun while losing track of time.
Our research on collaborative behavior and learning provide another tool with which to maximize the learning experience. We understand the needs of the millennial generation, who seek collaborative interaction within their social networks of friends.
This can be leveraged to create learning situations where social groups rely on the collaborative effort of individuals to achieve success. At Situated Research, we specialize in designing environments where group participation can serve educational goals.
Are today’s students being challenged on a level of which they are capable?
- At Situated Research, we know that technology can supplement traditional curricula to engage and motivate students in ways not previously possible. Students growing up in an environment containing highly-visual and interactive media such as the Internet, video games, and other culture-forming technologies have become accustomed to learning within those interactions.
- This paradigm shift has helped to shape student capabilities: both popular culture and technology have helped to create the expectation of highly engaging social interactions that contain constant feedback and instant reward.
- On the other hand, the affordances of modern technologies have helped to create a generation capable of problem solving within situations containing many interrelated variables, such as those found in the dynamic systems of video games and virtual worlds.
Situated Research is concerned with utilizing these potentials to create learning experiences that prepare tomorrow’s leaders for the global problems they will encounter.
