Research Areas
WPI’s research in learning sciences and technologies is focused on the STEM disciplines—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In keeping with the WPI principle of integrating theory with practice, you will have the opportunity to go into real classrooms, researching the impact of educational technology with the input of both new and veteran teachers and students whose learning experiences—and future—will be enhanced by your efforts.
Among the opportunities for research:
- Artificial intelligence
- Classroom observation
- Educational data mining
- Human-computer interaction
- Instructional technologies
- Intelligent tutoring system design
- Learning with visualizations and simulations in science
- Machine learning
- Pedagogy
Graduate students have access to facilities, resources, and equipment to advance their research, including:
- Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Tutoring Laboratory
- Educational Psychology Laboratory
- Human Interaction in Virtual Environments Laboratory
- Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Laboratory
- Learning Sciences Laboratory
