Noah L. Schroeder, Ph.D. is a Professor of Educational Technology and Instructional Design. His research interests are broadly focused on how we can design and use technologies to improve teaching, learning, and human productivity. At the present time, Dr. Schroeder is primarily focused on the design of AI-powered pedagogical agents (virtual characters/virtual humans) for supporting students' persistence, academic resilience, and collaboration as part of the INVITE AI Institute. In addition to his work around agents, Schroeder's work also examines how we learn from and build trust with technology through various approaches such as refutation text and social cues, as well as the use of wearable sensors for supporting learning. He conducts experimental research as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and conducts research around AI-enhanced and non-AI systems.
