Project Description
My action research focuses on using educational technologies such as social media and podcasts to make learning more experiential, human and engaging, particularly in online and hybrid environments. ; e.g. How to make e-learning more human and engaging using tech and empathy.
Currently, I’m working on two research projects sponsored by University Canada West, including a career focused podcast and:
A Twitter Study: A Mixed methods study to assess the benefits and barriers of using X as a teaching and learning tool in Hybrid environments. The study, initiated in spring 2024 and sponsored by Tweetbinder, involves undergraduate international students taking Tiers 1-4 communications courses at UCW. Students participate in a structured Twitter activity with their peers and instructors. At the end of the term, they can share their experience in an optional survey. KPIs such as # of tweets, contributors, and impressions are collected using Tweetbinder.
