Michele W. McColgan
Professor of Physics & Astronomy and lead developer of MARVLS. Her research examines how augmented-reality visualizations can support conceptual understanding, spatial visualization, representational fluency, and problem solving in physics and engineering education.
George E. Hassel
Teaching Professor of Physics & Astronomy whose work includes active and inquiry-based approaches to undergraduate physics instruction and the classroom implementation and study of MARVLS learning activities.
Kamyar Pashayi
Associate Professor with engineering and applied-physics expertise. His research interests include the application of augmented reality in engineering and physics education and the development of interactive learning experiences.
Jason W. Morphew
Assistant Professor in Engineering Education whose research applies cognitive science and learning-science principles to the design and evaluation of learning environments and technologies that support STEM learning and engagement.
Connecting educational technology and learning research
The project brings together AR design and development, undergraduate physics instruction, engineering education, and research frameworks for examining how students coordinate mathematical, physical, symbolic, spatial, and embodied representations.
