Established in 2001, the Hubei Provincial Key Laboratory for Digital Education originated from the Hubei Research Center for Educational Informatization. It is the province’s first key laboratory dedicated to educational informatization research at the provincial level. The laboratory focuses on theoretical research, policy advising, talent cultivation, technological innovation, and practical applications in the field. It serves as both a major research hub and a training center for educational informatization in Hubei, while also facilitating domestic and international collaborative projects. The lab leads pioneering research and development in three key areas: media computing and cognition, brain science and learning, and educational robotics.
