Research Interests:
The Electronic Learning Communities (ELC) group is focused on using social computing technology to help people to be creative. We study existing systems, especially collaborative systems where people create creative products. Based on what we learn, we design new tools to help people be creative collaboratively, and learn through that process.
The ELC group also focuses on broadening participation in computing, finding ways to leverage teens’ passion for existing technologies to foster an interest in pursuing computing education.
We also do research on Internet research ethics, and how to conduct this kind of human-subjects research in an ethical fashion.
