I completed my PhD at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, British Columbia) and my Masters and Honour’s BA at the University of Western Ontario (London, Ontario). My degrees are in instructional and developmental psychology.
I have several active programs of research. My primary program examines learning across the lifespan both in traditional learning contexts (e.g., school, preschool and home) as well as non-traditional contexts where technology is used as a tool to instruct or to learn. The focus of the research examines how information is acquired and retained both from an applied perspective and understanding underlying cognitive mechanisms. A second program of research examines gender issues that impact on learning, health and relationships. The third stream of research examines academic integrity.
