Biographical Sketch
 

 
 
Dr. Beaumie Kim joined the Learning Sciences Lab and the Learning Sciences and Technology Academic Group as an Assistant Professor in July 2006. She recently worked as a design researcher for the NASA-sponsored Classroom of the Future program at the Center for Educational Technologies (CET) in Wheeling Jesuit University. She played a key role in research and evaluation work at the CET, including evaluation of NASA's 3D educational software called World Wind and NASA’s research project on assessing student growth in inspiration. Previously she worked in the Learning and Performance Support Lab of the University of Georgia, where she was involved in curriculum design, software blueprints, and video-based research for the U.S. National Science Foundation funded project on 3D virtual reality (VR) modeling and visualizations for science education.
