Wen Huang; Candace Walkington; Mitchell J. Nathan – Grantee Submission, 2023
This study investigates how learners collaboratively construct embodied geometry knowledge in shared VR environments. Three groups of in-service teachers collaboratively explored six geometric conjectures with various virtual objects (geometric shapes) under the guidance of a facilitator. Although all the teachers were in different physical…

Holder, Jourdan T.; Gifford, René H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Despite the recommendation for cochlear implant (CI) processor use during all waking hours, variability in average daily wear time remains high. Previous work has shown that objective wear time is significantly correlated with speech recognition outcomes. We aimed to investigate the causal link between daily wear time and speech…
