Yanjun Pan

Yanjun Pan earned her Ph.D. degree at Florida State University with the major of Instructional Systems and Learning Technologies. Her current research interests focus on game-based learning (GBL), immersive learning, multimodal learning analytics, educational data mining, and participatory learning experience design. More specifically, she is interested in investigating immersive learning systems that incorporate learning-oriented mechanics, design-based pedagogy, data-driven learning assessment, and adaptive learning support in PreK-20, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education (STEM). Her research works appear in the Computers & Education, Educational Research Review, Educational Technology Research and Development, and Journal of Educational Computing Research. Currently, Dr. Pan provides research support for an NSF-funded project called STEM + C.
