Special Edition Staff Academy Webinar: Joint Education Lab Projects' results the 8th of DEC 2025

Hear from the Joint Education Lab Projects in the Special Edition Staff Academy webinars As the holiday season approaches we welcome you to the festival of webinars! From the 2nd to 9th of December the Joint Education Lab projects showcased their projects. Come and learn more! Throughout the academic year, INGENIUM organises several public Staff Academy webinars where there are 1–3 short case presentations on cutting-edge teaching practices, followed by a lively discussion and Q&A session. The webinars unfold on Zoom and are hosted by the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk). This December it’s time to get to know the projects from the first Joint Education Lab Projects call. Each project showcases their results in a 20 minute presentation, followed by questions and discussion. There will be three projects in each webinar. Projects in this webinar from the 8th of December 2025: Sustainable development of teaching and learning environments – developing the Ingenium Learning Spaces Learning Community The “Sustainable Development of Teaching and Learning Environments – Developing the Ingenium Learning Spaces Learning Community” project brings together Munster Technological University, Ireland (MTU), University of Skövde, Sweden (HiS), South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (XAMK), and Technical University of Iași, Romania (TUIASI) in a collaborative exploration of learning environment development through complementary methodological lenses. Through a series of online meetings featuring virtual campus tours, presentations, and cross-institutional dialogue, culminating in a site visit to MTU Ireland for campus visits and a seminar on “the third place” – the social threshold spaces where informal learning and community-building occur between formal educational environments – the partnership has developed a multifaceted framework integrating MTU’s person-centric stakeholder engagement model grounded in social justice, identity, and empowerment principles; XAMK’s scenario-based visioning methodology using workshop-generated personas to conceptualize future learning environments; HiS’s participatory action research approach yielding both theoretical frameworks and concrete spatial implementations; and TUIASI’s critical interrogation of the tension between architectural iconography, heritage preservation, and the creation of “spaces of radical openness” that challenge rather than merely accommodate learners. This Education Lab project addresses the complex interplay between physical space design, pedagogical practice, organizational culture, and stakeholder participation, recognizing that sustainable learning environment development requires not only innovative spatial solutions but also continuous engagement with the communities who inhabit, transform, and ultimately give meaning to these spaces. Each member of the team, Peter Fogel (HIS), Matti Strengell (Xamk), Ancuta Rotaru (TUIASI) and Katie Power (MTU) will share the presenting for the webinar. INVEX (International VR-Experience) As part of the EU4M Master’s program (of the ingenium universities Skövde, UNIOVI and Karlsruhe), students have the opportunity to study in Gijón (UNIOVI), Spain. To promote the program, a simulator is built that enables a virtual surfing experience on the beaches of Gijón. The initial mechanical setup and the infrastructure for data collection (360° videos + acceleration data) have already been developed in Germany. Data collection is carried out in parallel by students in Spain. In addition, students in Sweden set up VR simulation models for the optimization of the surfing experience. Finally, all partners contribute to the function of the systems making students experience the work in an international project. Speakers: Prof. Enrique Ruiz Zúñiga, University of Skövde; Prof. Alberto Garcia Martinez, UNIOVI; Prof. Martin Kipfmüller, Hochschule Karlsruhe IoT-Driven Environmental Monitoring for Innovative Sustainable Education (IT-EMISE) This project aims to assemble Internet of Things (IoT) devices to create real-time environmental monitoring sensors. These sensors will analyse carbon dioxide (CO₂), particulate matter (PM), air temperature, and air pressure. The primary goal is to build these sensors using readily available components and integrate them into educational courses related to environmental sampling and monitoring. Shakil Regmi from Xamk will be presenting their work and Adrian O’Sullivan from MTU will also be present. Pictured also one project member Kati Kontinen form Xamk.
