Bethanie's research focuses on how to blend formal and informal, cognitive and social support structures with artificial intelligence to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment. By combining learning science, mental health expertise, and emerging generative AI tooling, we can advance our understanding of how we might scaffold, track, enhance and develop learning and curiosity contribute to student mental health, motivation, and mindset.
