Ed Dieterle

Education Researcher

Ed's fundamental research interests consider the psychosocial and policy aspects of learning and teaching with current and emerging technologies using both quantitative and qualitative methods. In regard to teaching and learning, his primary focus is on media-based learning styles made possible by immersive technologies such as multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) and augmented realities (ARs). In terms of policy, he is principally interested in the role of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in secondary school reform.

Prior to coming to SRI, he worked as a high school science teacher in Prince George's County, Maryland, as an instructor at Johns Hopkins University and Trinity College, and as a researcher on Harvard University's River City Project. Ed served on the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Improving Learning with Information Technology and currently serves as an advisory board member of Microsoft's Partners in Learning National Projects.
