AboutAbout the lab
In an era when you can learn anything, anytime, anywhere.
The Educational Innovation lab (Iiyoshi Lab) conducts research and development that responds to the educational needs of society and individuals, by developing and disseminating more flexible and open education systems that make use of advanced technology and media.
