An educational technology lab that combines education and technology to create enjoyable, deep learning.
AboutAbout the lab
Making learning enjoyable and deep for everyone
The Yoshida Lab combines insights from education with technologies such as generative AI to study "systems" that create enjoyable, deep learning.
Here, a "system" means not only a program but the whole mechanism of learning: who is taught, by what method, what is evaluated, and how it is improved.
In addition to developing systems that support learning, the lab also creates educational programs and teaching approaches.
The lab places importance on having people actually use what it creates, evaluating it, and applying the results to the next improvement.
