Similar to the WCLD learning labs, learning technology labs aim to provide a space for practitioners to practically explore innovative educational technologies and develop high-quality resources they can then use in schools. In particular, this is based around the following technologies:
- Green Screening
- 360-Degree Video
- Augmented/Virtual Reality
Each partner university is equipped with high-quality technology to allow practitioners on local, regional and national levels to access the equipment and to co-construct resources with the WCLD team, informed by the principles of effective learning design.
This is based on a new two-way high tech – lower-tech model (below) to allow pedagogic ideas to be developed by teachers to become ‘high tech’ outcomes (which can then be used in their learning settings). Importantly, however, the approach also provides ‘lower tech’ alternatives (reflecting the technology likely to be found in schools) that can allow such ideas to be developed further in educational settings.
