Exploring Brain Patterns and Knowledge Structures in EdTech with Roy Clariana
Manage episode 422993370 series 3565481
In this episode, Dr. Roy Clariana describes his journey from the Peace Corps, through corporate training, and into academia, where he's been a tenured professor in Learning Design and Technology at Penn State University since 1997.
His recently completed 5-year National Science Foundation research project with colleague Ping Li examined how the implicit concept structure of texts influences fMRI brain patterns of activation and eye-track fixations of sixth graders and of adults when reading.
Roy’s current 3-year NSF project has developed a browser-based free open-education resource writing tool called Graphical Interface of Knowledge Structure (GIKS), that provides students with immediate knowledge structure network feedback of their writing. GIKS is designed to be used both for in-class writing activities to support lecture/discussion and is also appropriate for out-of-class time writing.
