Nowadays, all educational systems deal with the big issue of digital transformation, including the impact of Artificial Intelligence on students’ lives. Students should now acquire new knowledge with multiple ways, using all their senses to enhance learning. As a result, the big question “What do students finally learn by the use of ICT Tools?” is still at the heart of educational design, which tries to combine new educational policies to recent scientific directions of students’ learning. In Greece, the Research Program “Innovation Centers in the 13 regions of Greece”- funded by the European Union- attempts to combine new advanced educational technologies to the main principles of Innovative Pedagogy and Digital Transformation worldwide. The Program tries to research how students interact with Artificial Intelligence educational scenarios and how different semiotic systems, including the digital world, affect students’ cognitive skills. One of the cutting- edge educational scenarios of the program is focused on the use of multisensory learning in the acquisition of scientific notions. Students are engaged in multiple representations of scientific notions in augmented and mixed- reality environments, using all their senses in an embodied experience of learning. This paper presents the principles of Innovation Centers and their research methodology, as well as the educational scenario of multisensory learning approach through a semiotic analysis.
