Research Interests

As an educational researcher, I devote my efforts to the effective design and integration of learning and technological innovations for adult learners to foster their learning, performance, and career development. A question that I have been asking throughout my research career is what I can do to create more meaningful learning experiences for adults and support them to fulfill their learning and career goals. I have been endeavoring to find answers to this question through three research strands: (1) understanding and supporting learning and teaching in online and technology- enriched learning environments, (2) exploring the learning, performance and career development of diverse groups in the workforce to support their access and opportunities in education and the workplace, and (3) promoting design-based research (DBR).
