In the Bachelor's degree programmes in pre-school teaching and Bachelor's degree programmes in primary school education, the Laboratory runs courses in digital didactics, media education, computational thinking and courses in science.
Every year, the Laboratory also offers in-depth courses of choice and supervises several Bachelor's theses. Also of particular note are the training activities in collaboration with the geography didactics area on the topics of outdoor education and sustainability.
In the Master's in Teaching for Secondary I and Master's in Teaching Mathematics for Secondary I the Laboratory offers a course on media education and one on integrated digital didactics and runs the disciplinary didactics and natural science laboratory. The Laboratory also accompanies several Master's theses.
In the Teaching Diploma in Upper Secondary Education, the Laboratory offers a course on technology in teaching.
In the area of Continuing Education, the Laboratory offers several short courses in the fields of technology, media, game-based learning and natural science didactics, as well as long-term courses such as DAS food education in middle school and CAS Educational Robotics.

L'arte della fuga
Un numero dedicato all’utilizzo delle escape room in classe.
La camera o(b)scura
Quanto può influire un’invenzione tecnica sul modo in cui guardiamo il mondo? Quali sono le tappe che hanno portato allo sviluppo della fotografia come la conosciamo oggi? Il quaderno didattico ripercorre la storia della fotografia, soffermandosi sui principi fisici e chimici e le scoperte che l’hanno resa possibile.
Il fumetto in classe
Itinerario didattico rivolto al II e III ciclo della scuola dell'obbligo, per conoscere e imparare a esprimersi con un linguaggio di testi e immagini che ci accompagna, in tante forme, fin da bambini: il fumetto. Attraverso l'analisi di alcune tavole e lo sviluppo di una storia a fumetti si lavora su competenze testuali, artistiche e di comunicazione, usando tanti materiali, poco disegno e un po' di tecnologia.
L'animazione stop-motion
Itinerario didattico rivolto a tutti i cicli di studio per far conoscere le tecniche narrative che si utilizzavano nel passato e realizzare grazie alla propria creatività e manualità, dei mini cortometraggi in animazione con gli strumenti digitali a disposizione, introducendo il concetto di co-costruzione e responsabilità verso un progetto comune.
Music clip
Itinerario didattico di educazione all’audiovisivo che esplora il genere del videoclip e il rapporto tra musica, immagini e racconto. Mette a tema il mondo della musica e le immagini che lo accompagnano e propone un lavoro di comprensione e di fedeltà al testo musicale che si mette in scena.
One-frame Movie
Itinerario didattico di educazione all’immagine e alle tecnologie dedicato a chi ha un telefonino in tasca.
Mette a tema come le immagini raccontano storie al cinema, nell’informazione, nella pubblicità, in rete e sullo schermo. È una opportunità per promuovere l’uso creativo, critico e non banale dell’immagine.
Selfie Awareness
Percorso didattico che tratta del desiderio di raccontare gli altri e di raccontarsi tramite un’immagine o un ritratto. Fare davvero l’esperienza di un ritratto che coglie l’altro in profondità, che lo racconta in maniera inedita e vera, significa offrire un’esperienza di paragone che mette quantomeno in prospettiva i modelli di bellezza che troviamo in rete e sui media. Significa anche capire che fare e pubblicare un ritratto è un atto che implica una responsabilità, in chiave sia etica sia legale.
Sound Score
Itinerario didattico di educazione al suono, alla musica e al rapporto tra musica, immagini ed emozioni. Mette a tema come il suono dia vita e colore alle immagini, e come possa essere creato, manipolato per diventare una componente importante del linguaggio cinematografico.
The Laboratory carries out its activities in the context of the digitisation of schools in the Canton of Ticino, in close collaboration with the Centro di risorse didattiche e digitali (CERDD) of the Dipartimento dell'educazione, della cultura e dello sport del Canton Ticino (DECS).
Stable and fruitful collaborations in the field of research are established with the Centre for Learning Sciences (LEARN) of the EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, as well as with the other Swiss universities of teacher education.
Many dissemination activities in Ticino are carried out in collaboration with the Locarno Film Festival and the Media in Piazza network, in which Wikimedia Switzerland and the Università della Svizzera italiana also participate.
The laboratory also serves as the antenna for Italian-speaking Switzerland of GLOBE Switzerland, a foundation that promotes the exploration and collection of climate data and parameters in schools to foster scientific collaboration at a global level, within an international network involving schools and research centres.
