Lead by Dr Andrew Sherlock, School of Engineering, the Centre for Research in Digital Education will contribute to this project to improve understanding of teaching, learning and assessment through augmented and mixed reality.

Augmented Reality (AR) allows digital content to be overlaid onto the physical environment, typically on devices such as glasses, tablets and smartphones.   More recently, semi-immersive Mixed Reality (MR) devices, usually headsets (e.g. Microsoft Hololens), allow 3D holograms to be placed in the physical environment.

Abstract

SHEILA project MOOC 

Professor Judy Roberston discusses one of the first workshops on data science delivered at Newbattle HIgh School - a Digital Centre of Excellence.  Pupils were given the opportunity gain experience programming, work with micro-controllers to collect and analyse data, and make decisions about what to do with the information.

What is your role in the Centre for Research in Digital Education?

Job Purpose:

This post focuses on partner building and market research for a novel early learning technology design: The Magic Cloud. The Magic Cloud is an Internet of Things platform linking soft toys to digital animations. Key to this project is building partnerships with local education focused organisations, such as Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh Zoo, or Glasgow Science Centre.
