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
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
A live election result tracker designed for and tested during the 2024 Presidential election that fosters voter trust in vote counting procedures and debunk misconceptions about trends indicative of 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.
