Dr. Megan Humburg

Learning Scientist, Indiana University

My research centers on designing interdisciplinary learning activities, technologies, and environments that engage learners' emotions and build social connections as a foundation for powerful collaboration and learning. I leverage educational technologies, embodied learning, and sociocultural theories of learning to thoughtfully design for integrations between STEM, Arts, & Humanities disciplines.

 

I currently work as a PostDoctoral Fellow at Indiana University as a part of the EngageAI Institute. Our work involves designing narrative-centered learning environments that interface with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to adaptively support student engagement and learning. In particular, I investigate how to ethically and sustainably design AI chatbots to support student-led inquiry.

Scholarly Publications

I publish about embodied learning, student engagement, interdisciplinary learning, and more. 

Posts for Educators

In addition to academic publications, I also write short articles and create resources for educators to share my own research as well as to help communicate ideas from the learning sciences.
