Research & Development

Research

The research component of the Viten project is concerned with understanding how ICT plays a role in the way students learn science. Our research studies also provide important information for the development of Viten programs as we try to understand the pedagogy of ICT in the learning process.

Viten is also working with the creation of learning objects and use of Viten's content used in virtual learning environments. Teachers are the focal point of this process.
