Research & Teaching Interests
My multidisciplinary research and teaching practice focus on uses of educational technology to facilitate active learning in post-secondary classrooms. Through examining students’ and teachers’ use of learning technologies, I seek to deepen understanding of students’ learning behaviours, their motivations to engage in instructional writing activities such as peer review and chatbot interactions, and how learning analytics can promote students’ achievements and self-regulated learning.
