Jaesung Hur Ph.D.

Jaesung (Jae) values designing positive and meaningful learning experiences for learners. Through the thoughtful use of educational technologies, she fosters interactive and engaging online learning environments where learners can connect and build supportive learning communities.

Jae is passionate about enhancing learner engagement in technology-mediated learning environments. "What makes a learner (dis)engaged? How can instructional design and learning technologies motivate them to learn?” To address these questions, she has examined learners’ perceptions, attitudes, and experiences with technologies such as webcams, social media, and AI.

Jae is also committed to preparing pre-service teachers to develop digital and AI literacy for thoughtful, critical, and ethical technology use in education. Her goal is to help future educators make informed decisions about technology and integrate it effectively into their teaching practice.

With her extensive teaching and instructional design experience, Jae collaborates with faculty to support innovative teaching practices and interactive, learner-centered online course development.
