The Laboratory of Informatics supports undergraduate and post-graduate courses of the Department of Education Sciences in Early Childhood.
More specifically, the types of supported courses are the following: :
- courses including computer lab activities in a weekly basis during the semester,
- courses including computer lab activities in specific sections of the curriculum,,
- courses including a few computer lab activities during the semester
In the following, information about courses of the first two types is mentioned.
Undergraduate courses including computer lab activities in a weekly basis
The following table lists undergraduate courses supported by the Laboratory of Informatics that include computer lab activities in a weekly basis. The first four courses listed include lab activities that put emphasis on the development of educational applications addressed to early childhood. The fifth course listed involves Statistics.

Post-graduate courses including computer lab activities in a weekly basis
The following table lists post-graduate courses supported by the Laboratory of Informatics that include computer lab activities in a weekly basis. These courses were taught in the Program of Post-graduate studies in “Innovative Pedagogical Approaches in Multicultural Educational Environments”. This program first accepted students for enrollment in the spring semester of the academic year 2013-14. The last students were enrolled in the fall semester of the academic year 2017-18. Enrollment of students was biannual. The first semester of studies involved background courses whereas the second semester involves courses of two directions. This program was replaced by a new one (the Program of Post-graduate studies in “Education Sciences: Innovative Pedagogical Approaches in Multicultural Educational Environments”) that started to operate in the academic year 2019-20. The two last courses in the table are taught in the new program.
The two first courses listed in the table were taught in the first round of studies (students first enrolled in 2013-14). The responsible for these courses was the Director of the Laboratory. The title and the curriculum of these two courses changed after the first round of post-graduate studies. They evolved into the third and fourth course listed in the table taught in the second and third round of post-graduate studies (students enrolled in 2015-16 and 2017-18, respectively) and in the new program of post-graduate studies (since 2019-20).

Post-graduate courses including computer lab activities in specific sections of the curriculum
The following table lists post-graduate courses supported by the Laboratory of Informatics that include computer lab activities in specific sections of the curriculum. The first course listed was taught in the Department’s Program of Postgraduate Studies in “Innovative Pedagogical Approaches in Multicultural Educational Environments” (2013-14, 2015-16, 2017-18) and is taught in Department’s Program of Postgraduate Studies in “Education Sciences: Innovative Pedagogical Approaches in Multicultural Educational Environments” (from 2019-20 until 2021-22). The second course listed was taught from 2015-16 until 2017-18 in the Department’s Program of Postgraduate Studies “Education for the Environment and Sustainability”. The sections of the courses involving computer lab activities concern Statistics. These courses are taught by instructors that are not members of the Laboratory of Informatics.
