Hello! I’m Michelle Lui, a designer, researcher, and educator — I design emerging technology and research how we learn with technology and with each other. In addition, I teach courses on digital media, immersive environments, and gameful learning.
I create extended reality experiences to help learners ‘see’ the world differently.
Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto, where I direct the co-CREATE Lab. I investigate design factors that enhance understanding in immersive learning environments, like virtual reality, and work closely with learners and educators through co-design to shape these environments together.
In addition, I am exploring how physiological measures, like galvanic skin response and eye-tracking combined with gesture analysis, can augment more traditional methods to examine the connections between sensorimotor activity, embodied interactions, and human cognition.
