A Future Learning Technology Researcher and Designer

"Five years ago, I never thought that I would study for a PhD, but here we are!"

About Me

Currently, I am a PhD student in the Learning, Design, and Technology program at the University of Georgia. As a diligent and persistent person, I always have a great passion to learn new knowledge and skills, such as coding and design.

Technology has changed every aspect of our lifes. It is my desire to conduct cutting-edge research to improve the accessibility of educational resources and learner experience.

When I'm not doing my college coursework or projects, I like to travel, play Magic The Gathering, reading, and watch NBA games.

Projects

From a code searcher to a code creator

Embodied Interactive Learning Platform for JavaScript

"When you begin to learn coding, watching videos and reading tutorials online will only get you so far, and they are boring. How long can you keep your focus when you try to read pages of codes you don't understand?"

Project Intro

To facilitate learning and help people learn JavaScript more intuitively, this project will create an embodied learning environment and attempt to use scenes from everyday life to represent the function of the codes and helps learners to relate programming skills to their previous knowledge or experience. Based on embodied theory, this project will provide various interactions to learners. For example, when a learner clicks on a piece of code, a short animation will pop up and illustrate the actions that the code can perform. An interactive learning environment will provide you interesting learning experience, helping you understand the basics more easily, and keeping you engaged and motivated.
