Expertise

My research interests lie in the intersection of learning sciences and instructional design. I am interested in using innovative ways to promote student motivation and engagement, and therefore their learning in online learning environments, especially in STEM. Currently, one line of my research is about how to create lecture videos to engage students and promote deep learning. Another line of my research focuses on using the gamification approach to make online learning more fun.
