Current Projects
COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING OF STUDENT INTERACTION WITH A SCIENCE SERIOUS GAME
The goal of this project is to examine different data analytics methods and discover an appropriate method to analyze fine- grained data captured during students’ technology-supported collaborative learning.
STUDENTS’ FULL-BODY EXPERIENCE WITH A SCIENCE LEARNING SIMULATION
The goal of this project is analyzing volume and speed of student movement generated from Kinect—to investigate whether the massive amounts of dynamic data recorded from students can generate personalized artifacts that could be leveraged to improve an individual’s learning experience and system performance. This line of work emphasizes that the examination of multimodal interactions is of great relevance to enhance students’ learning experiences and inform the design of complex learning environments.
