mEDiaLab

The mEDiaLab KUL is conceived as part of the Technology Enhanced Learning initiative by the Technology and Pedagogy Special Interest Group.

As part of the overall TEL initiative, the mEDiaLab KUL aims to focus attention to the largely untapped potential of the current state of TEL research and development and through custom-designed interventions develop critical and creative literacies be they digital or pedagogical....ultimately aimed at transformations in professional culture and policy itself.

The mEDiaLab KUL is staffed and equipped to support the development of creative and critical literacies ranging from learning design, curriculum design to media design and production, and for the full spectrum of modalities, online, blended, on campus and in practice.
