Betsy DiSalvo: Summary of research

Abstract:

In my research I use cultural values as lens to understand everyday technology practices and their implication on learning. Using ethnographic and design research methods I conduct in-depth formative work and create interventions to better understand motivations to learn and motivations to actively not learn. My work focuses on disadvantaged and underrepresented youth who are frequently difficult to reach with traditional learning. Digital media and technology offer unique opportunities to leverage identity and computation to encourage learning within these groups. © ISLS.
