AREAS OF INTEREST
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion module_class=”accordion-list” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Cognitive and Learning Science” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
I’m interested in exploring how cognition and memory affect learning and problem solving in STEM and technology-supported learning environments, including the effects of gesture performance, multimedia agents and self-regulation. This work draws from Cognitive Load Theory, Self-Regulation and Monitoring and Embodied Cognition.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Learning Design” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
This work explores the design thinking practices of university and K-12 instructors in their design of lessons, drawing upon research in Design Thinking, Imagination as well as Educational Leadership and Technology.

Extending my interest in gesture-based learning with technology, my interest explores how technology and embodiment affect cognition and learning through learner interactions with immersive environments.

This interest stemmed from the original development of a gesture-capture iPad app for use in data collection. From here, I have adapted both the Visual Pattern Task (VPT) and Automated Operation Span Task (OpSpan) to touch-based versions, and have developed a child-friendly mental effort measure.
