I'm a doctoral student of the Information School at Drexel. I’m in my 4th
year in the program and in the stage of working on my dissertation proposal.
My current goal is to graduate! Soon!!
:p My research interests include: ·
Information behavior of small groups: How people in a small group collaborating on a problem
solving task negotiate, construct information needs, how they seek
information and make use of discovered information to their problem
situation. ·
Design of Online Resources (Digital Libraries): How online resources can be designed to support
users’ broader context of information use, particularly, their learning
activities and social information practice. ·
Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL): How can we understand collaborative learning in
virtual environments and how can information resources be integrated into the
instructional environment to support learner’s needs. I have been involved in the Virtual Math Teams (VMT) research project, a five-year project funded by
the NSF, with Dr. Gerry Stahl as the Principle Investigator. At VMT, we investigate
the use of online environments to encourage students to discuss and enjoy
learning math together. Check out my publications if you’re interested in knowing more about my
research work. Prior to Drexel, I did my Master from School of
Information Management & Systems (SIMS) (now i school) at the University of California at Berkeley. |
