Package to Collaborate

WP1: Integration of the LA-ReflecT System into the Educational Environments of Partner Countries

This work package focuses on analyzing the needs of learning activities and infrastructure in different educational environments across partner countries.

Initially, all participants will be granted access to the LA-ReflecT system, hosted in Japan, and integrated with their respective Learning Management Systems (LMS). Additionally, the miXai LMS will be developed as an independent system with global accessibility, enabling cross-team testing.

Following an initial demonstration period, collaborators in each country will propose specific utilization scenarios, which will then be further validated locally. This phase will naturally transition into WP2.

WP2: Task Design for Embodied Learning

In collaboration with stakeholders from each country, this work package will design concrete learning activities utilizing the multimodal interaction platform of LA-ReflecT.

• Spain: Application in the fields of sports, adult fitness, and rehabilitation.
  
  

• India: Implementation in "makerspaces" for engineering education and STEM+C (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science) activities in schools.
  
  

• Germany and the United States: Use in hackathons and online teamwork activities for university students.
  
  

• Japan: Integration into data science courses at universities.
  
  

By leveraging these diverse learning environments, components supporting data-driven embodied learning activity design will be developed within the miXai framework. Where possible, guidelines will also be created for integrating these activities into existing curricula.

WP3: Multi-Perspective Learning Models

As stakeholders begin utilizing the miXai framework, multimodal data (various types of learning data) will be collected.

To analyze this data, a combination of theoretical approaches based on the 4E cognition framework and data mining techniques will be employed to validate models of the learning process. For instance, researchers IC and RM plan to develop a "Learning Gray Zone Profiler," which will be integrated into the LA-ReflecT dashboard (Figure 4).

WP4: Design of Adaptive Feedback

Based on the collected data, this work package focuses on designing adaptive feedback tailored to individual learners. The feedback will be provided in two main forms:

• Virtual environment: A virtual agent within LA-ReflecT will deliver feedback.
  
  

• Physical environment: Socially assistive robots will provide interactive feedback.
  
  

WP5: Cross-Cultural Studies

The implementation and evaluation of the miXai framework will be conducted using a design-based research (DBR) approach, iteratively improving the system through practical application.

In the latter half of the project, once practical implementations have been completed in Japanese universities and schools, comparative studies across different countries will be conducted to assess the framework’s applicability in diverse educational environments.

WP6: Organization and Management of Educational Open Data

The project will systematically classify and organize the collected data, making it accessible for educational research.

Currently, there are very few structured datasets on learning logs, physical movement, and hybrid cyber-physical (digital-physical integrated) activities. Therefore, the project will establish an appropriate Data Management Plan (DMP) that follows cutting-edge data formats and protocols.
