My research explores the design and development of
technologies to transform the instructional experience, moving
beyond the surface-level activities of creating face-to-face
affordances (i.e. simulating conventional classroom pedagogy on
the computer) and diagnosing efficiency obstacles in traditional
instructional design. Most recently, my research has focused on
the effects of emotional design on the learner experience,
specifically the relationship between aesthetics and learner
task involvement. I believe aesthetics is an increasingly
important dimension missing from the research base in the
instructional design, human-computer interaction, and learning sciences fields. Through collaboration with faculty in
Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Psychology, my work
involves bridging the gap between learning, aesthetic design,
and research-driven development to generate opportunities for
transforming the nature of instruction.
