Digital media are playing an increasingly important role in daily life. People nowadays readily use computers, Internet and mobile technologies at school, at work or in their leisure time. At the same time the information environments are becoming more and more complex. With this in mind, the Leibniz-Institut f\u00fcr Wissensmedien (IWM) in T\u00fcbingen investigates how digital media affects knowledge and communication processes and how they can be used in order to optimize these processes. The psychological basic and application oriented research of IWM\u2019s scientists focuses mainly on these fields of practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together with cooperation partners from practice the IWM jointly realizes pilot projects for testing new learning scenarios. One example is the information portal e-teaching.org<\/a> (in German only) for the application of digital media in university teaching. In the field of practice school the IWM has established a digital teaching lab T\u00fcDiLab<\/a> (in German), where media based teaching processes can be analyzed. The research done at the IWM thus results in essential knowledge for scientific progress and gives answers to important societal questions. Additionally in 2023, the IWM opened a Future Innovation Space (FIS)<\/a> (in German) where future digital possibilities for schools can be explored and experimented with. It consists of three components \u2013 alongside the T\u00fcDiLab, there is a Mixed Reality Lab and a Multi-Touch Lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Important work and offers<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
