Elaine Raybourn, Ph.D.
Sandia National Laboratories, and Advanced Distributed Learning
Initiative, Orlando, Florida, USA
"TRANSMEDIA APPROACHES TO NEXT GENERATION LEARNER RESEARCH"
This presentation will describe the Next Generation Learner research
program of the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative. Our research
employs transmedia storytelling principles as a unifying construct for
projects investigating cognitive adaptability, intelligent tutoring,
serious games, and virtual worlds. Dr. Raybourn will discuss these
projects and provide a practical framework for incorporating
transmedia into training and education.
Dr. Elaine Raybourn has led award-winning computer game research in
multi-role experiential learning, social simulations, and designing
training systems that stimulate intercultural communication competence,
and adaptive thinking.
Currently Elaine is on assignment from Sandia National Labs to the
Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative which is part of the Office of
the Deputy Secretary of Defense (Readiness) where she leads research
teams investigating next generation learners' cognitive adaptability
and interactions with future learning technology.
