Qualitative Research
User Experience Design
Designed and led qualitative research with children, families, educators, edtech developers, and educational leaders to create and lead the implementation of customized programs, learning experiences, and products across various settings including school districts, sites, and nonprofit foundations.
​
Mixed methods research is used with an emphasis on qualitative research due to the purpose. Data collection instruments include surveys, questionnaires, focus groups, interviews, and observations.
