ITD Istituto per le Tecnologie Didattiche - CNR
Educational Technology is a strongly interdisciplinary research field in continuous evolution. Accordingly, ITD’s activities are carried out by researcher clusters that form dynamically in response to emerging opportunities. The research lines outlined below reflect both the state of the art in educational technology and major needs arising in education. The lines are closely interrelated and are underpinned by core transversal issues that characterise this research field as a whole: the emergence of educational opportunities offered by technological development (social media, cloud computing, mobile systems, tangibles, etc.), the study of innovative learning modalities (game based learning, mobile learning, online learning, inquiry based learning, etc.) and analysis of different educational contexts of application, both formal and non/in-formal (school, university, professional training, lifelong learning, etc.).
