Outline of Research at the Start

The goal is to develop a learner management system (LMS) that integrates traditional LMS software elements (such as tasks and assessments) with interactive hardware tools (smartphone/tablet & head-mounted displays). In parallel, learning content will focus on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). CLIL allows students to acquire second language skills while studying subject matter.
