The TELS Lab is a student-centered research community at Leiden University College. Guided by faculty experts, we explore how emerging technologies can enhance learning. Our interdisciplinary work combines educational psychology, learning sciences, and advanced research methods, from interviews and surveys to data science and machine learning. We collaborate with international partners to push the boundaries of research and innovation in education.
