About
Pavlo "Pasha" Antonenko is a Professor of Educational Technology and Director of the NeurAL Lab in the School of Teaching and Learning. His research has been funded by state and federal agencies and focuses on developing, implementing, and studying technologies for scaffolding learning. His most recent project, "LENS: Leveraging Expertise in Neurotechnologies to Study Individual Differences in Multimedia Learning", is a NSF-funded Science of Learning project that focuses on understanding learning with multimedia by a wide range of students including those with attentional and cognitive differences. Dr. Antonenko has published in a number of educational technology and educational psychology journals and received several national and international awards for his research on the design of technology-enhanced learning environments and the implications of neuroimaging for educational research. He is the Educational Technology Strand Co-Coordinator for the National Association for Research in Science Teaching, Chair of the American Educational Research Association's Special Interest Group in Instructional Technology, and a reviewer for multiple journals, conferences, and funding agencies.
