Technology-mediated interviews are a promising supplement to in-person interviews for questioning eyewitnesses. We sought to develop and test a virtual self-administered memory-elicitation procedure--The Virtual Memory Assistance Tool (VMAT). The VMAT is a web-based memory retrieval tool designed around the principles of the Cognitive Interview.…

This case study is a concentrated look at how online video communications services like Zoom and Microsoft Teams can provide a useful platform for conducting interviews while using the methodological approach of Photovoice. My research aimed to gain insight into the LGBTQAI+ student experience in higher education and support the development of…

For second language writing (SLW) instructors, decisions regarding technology-mediated feedback are particularly complex as they must also navigate student language proficiency, which may vary across different areas such as reading or listening.

However, getting students to ask unsolicited questions in a large class can be difficult. In this qualitative study, undergraduate students sent SMS text messages to the instructor who received them on his mobile phone and…

Teaching mathematics for understanding requires listening to each student's mathematical thinking, best elicited in a one-on-one interview. Interviews are difficult to enact in a teacher's busy schedule, however. In this study, the authors utilize smartphone technology to help mathematics teachers interview a student in a virtual one-on-one…

The original goal of this project was to build a peer e-mentoring program for parents and measure the effect of the program on persistence.
