Can VR be used for helping people with dementia? How do we help small companies cope with Industry 4.0? How do we analyze and visualize data created by digital learning technologies? And, how do we help primary schools embrace digital learning technology? learnT – Center for Digital Learning Technology – is a research and innovation center at DTU Compute. It is placed together with strong research environments within statistics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, internet of things and software development. In learnT, we work with learning analytics, educational data mining, learning design, learning theories, playful learning and ethics, as these areas are highly relevant to understand learning and develop effective, motivational and fun learning technology. learnT and DTU Compute’s technological starting point enables our students not only to design and improve concepts but also to create future learning technology based on their technical knowledge and ability. Based on our research and examples from our current work I will talk about trends in digital learning technology and how we can combine virtual learning opportunities with the learning processes that best occur in the physical world, both between students, between students and teachers and in more informal learning environments.
