Prof. Lujie Karen Chen wins wins 5-year NSF Career award

Focus: undergraduate data science & data literacy education

UMBC Information Systems Professor Lujie Karen Chen recently won an NSF CAREER award that puts students at the center of learning analytics—not just as subjects who supply data, but also as the designers of analytical tools and users of the insights they provide. Her five-year project, Teaching to Empower with Learning Analytics for College Students by College Students, will explore an innovative approach to empower students to become productive users and creators of learning analytics, tools that use educational data to enhance learning.

Chen’s Lab for Informatics for Human Flourishing is dedicated to using data to improve people’s lives. Education is a key pathway to advance human flourishing, Chen says, and she looks forward to improving student learning experiences and outcomes through her CAREER award project.
