We are designing new educational interfaces and assessing their effectiveness at supporting students learning science and math. This includes comparing how well low-performing versus high-performing students are able to focus, solve problems, remember, and learn when using these interfaces.
We are developing richly expressive communications interfaces that support multiple modalities, representational systems, and linguistic codes, which will become the backbone of global multicultural education. This year we are partnering with Northwest indian College to design new interfaces for environmental science fieldwork that are compatible with native oral and visual communcation patterns.
We are designing and assessing new interfaces that mimic students' exisiting work practice, such as digital paper and pen interfaces that support student note-taking, organization, and retrieval of written or pen/ voice multimodal information.
We are creating new interfaces for informal field settings and mobile use, and that can bridge learning activities across classroom and informal settings.
We are tracking the impact of educational interfaces on the achievement gap between student groups, including minority, disabled, and other populations.
We are developing techniques for monitoring students’ cognitive load while engaged in learning activities, and designing new interfaces that adapt to their load and performance in real time to assist learning.
We are designing student-centered adaptive interfaces tailored to the way individual students communicate, learn, and work, including ones that engage implicitly so students can remain focused on learning.
