Short Biography

I study participatory approaches to instruction, assessment, and motivation, mostly in e-learning, videogaming, and new media contexts.

Long Biography

I use design-based research methods and situative theories of cognition to improve instruction. I focus on assessment and motivation, and work in a range of digital environments. Now I am mostly focusing on a comprehensive model called Designing for Participation (DFP). DFP is a design-based model for directly fostering participation that also leads to enduring understanding and increased achievement. I also teach graduate courses in the Learning Sciences program.
