Minna Huotilainen, a candidate for the position of Senior research fellow on cognition and social interaction in learning, will hold her Venia Legendi  "Learning in 20X0 - evidence-based investigations of creativity and physiology in phenomenon-based social learning”.

Abstract:
Recently, physiological measurements have started to allow researchers to follow the processes and practises of learning in social groups and in phenomenon-based learning situations. In my talk I will show how the use of these and creativity assessments will make it possible to develop evidence-based interventions to all levels of learning from kindergarten to university. The goal of this approach is to make learning analytics data openly available to the learners, and thus to empower them to discover their individual learning strengths and benefits.
