Sm4rt LOC in English

Welcome to Sm4rt LOC – Learning Observation Classroom learning environment!

What and why?

The learning environment is located on the Joensuu campus, in rooms E001 and E002 of the Educa building.

The space is intended for research and teaching use, for example in which escape game pedagogical interventions are carried out.

The project has been implemented in co-operation as a 2020 demo project of the University of Eastern Finland and University Properties Ltd. The pedagogical content of the space has been built in co-operation with teacher training, computer science and physics, and the Joensuu Media Center.

Purpose of the project
The aim of the project was to produce a multi-functional space that allows the observation of learning through accurate audio and video monitoring. Second, the purpose was to create space for problem-solving tasks, that is, an escape room. The space was designed to serve both teaching and research staff and students.

The modernization of the premises into attractive self-employment and multi-purpose facilities were important starting points for the implementation of the project.
