IoT-alan koulutuksen tutkimuspainotteisen kehittämisen tuloksena tietotekniikan maisterikoulutuksen yhteyteen on syntynyt toimiva sulautettu aikuiskoulutusmalli.
Koulutusmalli yhdistelee eri opetusmenetelmiä tieto- ja viestintätekniikkaa vahvasti hyödyntäen. Käytetty ratkaisu perustuu ennen kaikkea streaming-teknologialla toteutettujen videoitujen luentojen, etäohjaustyökalujen ja oppimisalustan monipuoliselle käytölle.
Tutkimus- ja kehittämistoiminta keskittyy teknologialla rikastettuihin oppimisympäristöihin, etäopetukseen sekä digitaalisten teknologioiden pedagogiseen hyödyntämiseen. Työmme yhdistää soveltavaa tutkimusta aitoihin koulutuskonteksteihin korkeakoulutuksesta ammatilliseen ja elinikäiseen oppimiseen. Koulutuksen tutkimuksellisessa kehittämisessä on viime vuosina keskitytty seuraaviin:
etä- ja sulautetun opetuksen mallit sekä virtuaalikampusratkaisut
skaalautuvien, teknologian tukemien oppimisympäristöjen kehittäminen ja arviointi
oppimisanalytiikka ja dataan perustuva koulutus koulutuksen järjestäjien, opettajien ja oppijoiden näkökulmista
vuorovaikutteisuus videovälitteisessä ja verkko-opetuksessa
itseohjautuva oppiminen ja digitaalisilla alustoilla tuetut pedagogiset mallit
