Admission requirements
Assumed/Recommended prior knowledge
None.
Description
The course will introduce basic principles and theories of human learning. It will teach you how to design a conceptual model combining variables of human learning, variations of media/ict design and also how to measure effects and learning outcomes. Furthermore, it will demonstrate the current approaches in Learning Analytics, Mobile Learning, Game-based Learning, Gamification of Learning, AI in Education, and Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality for Learning.
Course objectives
At the end of the course, students are able to:
describe process of human learning, cognitive processs underlying learning, as also motivational aspects of learning;
differentiate 5 different learning technologies and define their special affordances for human learning and education;
design a conceptual model of linking design variations or technologies with effects on learning outcomes;
compose a technology enhanced educational or learning setting and formulate hypotheses about the effects of enhancements on human learning outcomes; and
identify a problem, design a solution based on the presented approaches, and implement their own educational technology solution.
Timetable
The most recent timetable can be found at the Computer Science (MSc) student website.
In MyTimetable, you can find all course and programme schedules, allowing you to create your personal timetable. Activities for which you have enrolled via MyStudyMap will automatically appear in your timetable.
Additionally, you can easily link MyTimetable to a calendar app on your phone, and schedule changes will be automatically updated in your calendar. You can also choose to receive email notifications about schedule changes. You can enable notifications in Settings after logging in.
Questions? Watch the video, read the instructions, or contact the ISSC helpdesk.
Note: Joint Degree students from Leiden/Delft need to combine information from both the Leiden and Delft MyTimetables to see a complete schedule. This video explains how to do it.
Mode of instruction
Lectures with Lab and final project work in groups.
Assessment method
The work progress will be assesed with weekly peer reviews. In these peer reviews the students will write a reflection paragraph related to the topic of the lecture of about 150-250 words. The students will then review and assess 3 other peers reflections and write feedback for those. There will be 5 peer reviews of which at least 3 must be completed to successfully complete the course.
For the final project there will be a poster session in which the students will present their project to the peers and a 3-5 teachers who will review the posters on a given rubric (conceptual clarity, technology orchestration, effect expectations, as also design/presentation), the grade of the poster will be 30% of the final grade.
The final project will be a report based on a given structure. The report is evaluated on a given rubric (background, theory, design and development, evaluation, overall writing and performance). The grade on the final report will be 70% of the final grade.

Registration
As a student, you are responsible for enrolling on time through MyStudyMap.
In this short video, you can see step-by-step how to enrol for courses in MyStudyMap.
Extensive information about the operation of MyStudyMap can be found here.
There are two enrolment periods per year:
Enrolment for the fall opens in July
Enrolment for the spring opens in December
See this page for more information about deadlines and enrolling for courses and exams.
Note:
It is mandatory to enrol for all activities of a course that you are going to follow.
Your enrolment is only complete when you submit your course planning in the ‘Ready for enrolment’ tab by clicking ‘Send’.
Not being enrolled for an exam/resit means that you are not allowed to participate in the exam/resit.

Software
Starting from the 2024/2025 academic year, the Faculty of Science will use the software distribution platform Academic Software. Through this platform, you can access the software needed for specific courses in your studies. For some software, your laptop must meet certain system requirements, which will be specified with the software. It is important to install the software before the start of the course. More information about the laptop requirements can be found on the student website.
