Prof. Mireille Betrancourt
Tecfa, Education & Technologies, UNIGE
Website
The Tecfa Research group works on the use of digital technologies in learning situations and their impact on cognitive and socio-cognitive processes. They are conducted from an educational perspective (impact on the processes and results of learning) and from an ergonomic perspective to optimize person-machine interactions.
