| AdminHistory | The London Knowledge Lab (LKL) was founded in 2004 with a grant from the Science Research Investment Fund as a joint venture between the Institute of Education and Birkbeck College. It employs social and computer scientists to understand the changing relationships between learning, knowledge, media and technology and to design systems that will have a lasting impact on how people learn, work and communicate. The LKL's mission was to:understand how digital technologies and media are transforming people's relationships to information, learning and culture at home, work and play; design build and evaluate systems, processes and interfaces which enhance learning throughout life; and, examine critically the assumptions about knowledge and learning that underlie the different uses of digital technologies.
The main areas that the LKL work in are:
Learning, curriculum, assessment and technology
Design and evaluation of interfaces, intelligent systems and personalized learning environments
Games, online communities, and virtual worlds
Digital media, culture and society
Digital technology and development
Digital technology in the workplace. |
