Research Projects

OSADE

OSADE is a mentorship application that supports coaching of self-regulatory skills, ranging from metacognitive to emotional regulation, in Problem-Based Learning classrooms.

Knowledge Net

Knowledge Net is a collaborative, tangible tabletop museum exhibit where users construct characters by building semantic networks, aimed at teaching middle schoolers about knowledge representations in semantic networks.

Kernel Quest

Kernel Quest is a hands-on, interactive activity that teaches middle school students how CNNs use kernels to detect visual features. Students simulate a CNN by sliding the a plastic “kernel” between polarizer film sheets, revealing features of a cartoon monster to guess the monster's identity.

LIVE-ELEX

Live Elex is a live election dashboard for the 2024 Presidential election that fosters trust by helping voters understand vote counting procedures, set expectations for upcoming processes and uncertainties, and distinguishing trends that are and aren't meaningful about the winner or malfeasance.

Qualitative Coding with LLMs

LLM-Qual is a theory-informed computational method to systematically evaluate inductive coding results by computationally transforming each coder's inductive coding results into a Code Space. We propose and operationalize 4 computational metrics for assessing Code Spaces: Coverage, Density, Novelty, and Divergence.
