RESEARCH/Volunteer ACTIVITIES

My research interests include mLearning, design frameworks, and online collaboration.

 

June 2023

Winrock International

  • I volunteered to deliver two weeks of workshops in Lagos, Nigeria, through Winrock International, a nonprofit leader in U.S. and international development. These workshops focused on online education and blended learning, covering tools such as Google Forms, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Mentimeter, Google Sites, Google Classroom, Jamboard, Canva, and Flip.

January 2015 – August 2018

eLearning Institute (Penn State University, College of Arts and Architecture) 

  • I worked as a graduate assistant researching digital and instructional technologies in the arts and designing for selected research initiatives.

  • Past Project: Virtual Design Studios.

January 2015 – May 2018

Augmented and Mobile Learning Research Group

  • I was part of a research team at Penn State University that examined pedagogies and designs for supporting learning with mobile computers. Perspective combines informal, place-based, and technologically enhanced learning theories to create learner-centered environments deployed on mobile computers.

  • Past project: Tree Investigators, which supports children and families in learning science together during out-of-school time.

May 2014 – May 2015

Competency Research: Instructional Design

  • I examined the ten training and development Areas of Expertise (AOE) to ensure accuracy and make the necessary changes to maintain the model’s integrity.

  • The publication was released in May 2015 and sponsored by ATD (Association for Talent Development) and IACET (International Association for Continuing Education and Training). Full report.
