Hi, I’m Bahar and I work at Dokuz Eylul University (DEU), TURKEY. My research journey from 10 years has been focused on the design and development of interactive learning systems such as learning objects, multiuser virtual environments, instructional videos, animations, augmented and virtual learning environments. I believe the importance of direct experience for all learners from a baby to an adult. Therefore, I focus on how to integrate technology in education seamlessly. Some of my international and national projects and their descriptions are as follows;

 

A Short Project/Research Background

DESITECH This on-going project aims to teach children to be little social scientists. We will design and develop classes enhanced by virtual reality activities. BIYOBETA It aims to improve engineering faculty members’ teaching abilities in the frame of biomimicry and educational technology. EDUCODE aims to develop a curriculum and teacher handbook (for faculty members) to improve ICT/STEM teacher candidates’ pedagogical knowledge of teaching coding. Online Infertility Prevention Program aims to design and develop an online infertility program including interactive animations, videos and augmented reality materials to teach reproduction cycle and infertility to students. Furthermore, I had 3 projects about Multiuser Virtual Environments (MUVE) in Math, History and Language education. The first project was about teaching how to solve daily life math problems. The second project included role playing activities for improving speaking abilities. In third project, online MUVE history education at university level was designed to improve students’ historical thinking process. You can access one of the results of them https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1148579.
