Scurta descriere a directiei de cercetare:

Directia de cercetare propusa este una interdisciplinara, de mare actualitate si relevanta pe plan internaţional. Principalele teme de cercetare abordate includ: medii de invatare inteligente (smart learning environments), adaptare si personalizare in e-learning, analiza datelor educationale (learning analytics), platforme educationale sociale si colaborative.

 

Cele mai reprezentative rezultate ale cercetării din ultimii 5 ani (2020 – 2024):

In aceasta perioada au fost dezvoltate si extinse mai multe sisteme educationale utilizate cu succes de studentii Facultatii de Automatica, Calculatoare si Electronica, printre care:

  • eMUSE (empowering MashUps for Social E-learning) - platforma de învățare socială bazată pe instrumente Web 2.0
  • LearnEval - platforma de evaluare colegiala in e-learning
