About
Mikko-Jussi Laakso is a leading researcher in technology-enhanced learning, with a particular focus on virtual reality (VR) and robotics education. His major contributions center on the design and implementation of immersive learning environments that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Laakso spearheaded the EU-funded JANUS project, which developed a VR robotics laboratory to ensure the continuity of student workshops when physical access was impossible. This work, detailed in his most-cited paper (21 citations), has since been redesigned to capitalize on the positive outcomes of the experience, demonstrating the lasting value of VR in blended learning. His research also addresses the challenges and opportunities of transforming robotics education in crisis contexts (7 citations). Laakso’s work is highly impactful for educators and researchers seeking scalable, engaging solutions for STEM education, showcasing how virtual environments can enhance practical skills and accessibility in higher education.
