As technologies advance, so does education. In addition to learning and teaching new technologies, we can also use technology to better understand how people learn. Research on educational technologies explores how technologies can not only better understand how people learn, but also how to help people learn as well as the role of technology in learning and evaluating learning.
Research Highlights
Dr. Peter Brusilovsky received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for his project "C-3PE: Comprehensive Personalized Programming Practice Environment." C-3PE will be a personalized learning system to help students in introductory programming classes master Java and Python skills.
How can students and instructors use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to create and assess content for writing assignments? This salient topic was discussed in “Generative AI and Teaching: Uses in Assessment of Learning,” a panel hosted by The Sara Fine Institute and the Research, Ethics, and Society Initiative on Jan. 19.
Dr. Dmitriy Babichenko received Pitt Seed funding for his project STEM Through Games as part of the program's 2023-24 cohort. This project will develop and then pilot an immersive media design and research program for high school students.
