Centre for Smart Learning and Development

The Centre for Smart Learning and Development aims to leverage APHD faculty research in technology-rich learning environments and their impact on students' self-regulation, emotion, and cognitive development. With the ubiquity of portable technology and recent advances in artificial intelligence systems, education is undergoing remarkable development in educational goals, teaching practice, and learning environments. Learning is moving away from knowledge acquisition to knowledge implication, collaboration, and self-regulated learning skills.
