Collaborator

Camillia Matuk is Assistant Professor of Educational Communication and Technology at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. She designs and studies the role of technology in teaching and learning. Her work examines how online tools can be integrated into inquiry-based environments to enhance students’ collaborative learning of science concepts. She also investigates professional development as a context for participatory design, particularly in support of teachers designing tools to support their practice, and customizing their instruction to address students’ needs. More recently, she has begun to explore processes and supports for learning through co-design within game-based learning environments in after school and professional development programs.

Camillia has a background in biology, biomedical illustration, and learning sciences, as well as professional experience as a medical illustrator and animator. Prior to joining the NYU faculty, she was a post-doctoral researcher with the WISE group. On the VISUAL project, Camillia helped design and research how technology-enhanced visualizations can support students’ learning and engagement in science.
