Department of Educational Studies

The Educational Technology Lab (ETL) is a research hub at the Department of Educational Studies, School of Philosophy, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Founded in 1999, ETL advances knowledge with regards to the design and use of digital technologies in the context of transformational educational interventions and promotes research and practice on innovative teaching and learning approaches embracing computational thinking and digital citizenship. ETL adopts both a silo (e.g., mathematics) and interdisciplinary (STEAM) approach to learning as a meaning-making discursive process.

The Lab maintains an active contribution to:

• Applied research on educational processes generated in learning environments based on the use of digital media.
• Design and development of original activity plans and digital resources for educational innovation.
• Teaching of undergraduate και postgraduate students at national and international levels.
• Supervision and support of 14 completed and six on-going PhD theses.
• Consultation to educational institutions wishing to infuse the use of digital media as a medium for innovative learning and teaching practice.
• Large-scale initiatives of the Greek Ministry of Education regarding the training of teacher educators and the building of a digital resource infrastructure.
• Participation in European multi-organizational research and innovation projects  and projects of the Greek General Secretariat of Research and Technology

The Educational Technology Lab is directed by Professor Chronis Kynigos, who is also head of the scientific team. The ETL team consists of academics, researchers, post docs, PhD students, master's students and a significant number of external partners.
