AboutAbout the lab
Learning and growth through "enjoyable experiences"
The Fujimoto Lab (Ludix Lab) studies learning content that creates "enjoyable experiences" leading to people's learning and growth, as well as methods for designing educational programs.
The lab works on designing learning with games, developing teaching materials that incorporate gamification, and supporting learning in online education.
The lab's research is grounded in the fields of educational technology and instructional systems design.
It also develops game-based learning apps for English and mathematics, as well as card games for career education.
