Human-Centred Educational Computing & Interaction Lab (HedCI)

Designing intelligent, interactive technologies for the future of learning

The HedCI Lab explores how technology can transform learning through human-centred design, interaction, and artificial intelligence. Our work focuses on creating systems that actively engage learners, support critical thinking, and enhance real-world interaction.

We bring together research across:

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
Learning with Artificial Intelligence
Interactive Learning Technologies
Multimodal Interaction Systems

About Us

Human-centred innovation for the future of learning

The Human-Centred Educational Computing & Interaction Lab (HedCI) is dedicated to designing intelligent, interactive technologies that enhance how people learn and engage with digital systems. Our research combines Human-Computer Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and learning sciences to create solutions that are both innovative and meaningful.
