‘Couch Learning’ is a new educational strategy. The strategy aims to transfer learning from formal classroom or e-learningsettings to an informal setting: the couch.
Nowadays, a growing amount of tv’s are connected on the internet and watching-on-demand is becoming more popular. Furthermore, watching tv is often combined with tapping on a tablet or smartphone. The couch learning concept aims to deliver video-based learning content on the connected tv (first screen) and a simultaneous interaction on the learning content on the second screen. We believe this concept will lead to a new, motivating learning experience. It will enable lifelong learning and promote intergenerational learning.
