Creative Technologies
Creative Technologies at IADT is people-centred technology in a digital environment. The School of Creative Technologies offers dynamic programmes which combine technical skill and knowledge with an understanding of how technology operates in society.
Our goal, through both our taught programmes and research, is to explore the interaction of people and technology. This goal finds expression in a range of existing disciplines such as Audiovisual Technologies, Gaming, Multimedia, Psychology, e-Learning, Assistive Technologies, Teaching and Learning, e-Business; and emerging disciplines such as Cyberpsychology. Students at the School will find a wide range of career possibilities both within and outside these disciplines.
Because technology is always evolving, research is key to the development of the School and our students. It underpins and informs our taught programmes, develops the skills and expertise of staff, generates funding for growth and development and adds to the pool of knowledge, and forms a measure of our contribution to academic development in the Institute of Technology sector. In short, it means our programmes are among the most dynamic in the country, and always remain at the cutting edge of this fast-growing industry.
The School of Creative Technologies hosts the Centre for Creative Technologies and Applications (CCTA), which is an umbrella for existing and future research publications. Recent successes of the CCTA include significant funded research into wireless, mobile and assistive technologies. For more information, please visit http://ccta.iadt.ie/ccta/index.html
The School also provides academic leadership in the areas of technology, e-Learning and human computer interaction.
