Research

As a cutting-edge practice in education, iPodia Program is supported and informed by recent development in academic research. So far, the iPodia Program Office has collaborated with national and international researchers from engineering education, computer science, learning sciences, educational ethnography, and so on. The research efforts have resulted in a series of publications in national and international journals and conferences. Below is a glimpse of the publications by April 2018.
