Introduction
Welcome to the website of Team Edulink! We are a team of 5 graduate students from Masters of Educational Technology and Applied Learning Science (METALS) program at Carnegie Mellon University. From January to August, 2023, we are closely working with SmartFutures to prototype a learning experience enriched with workspace career education, and provide a solution for school and community-based organizations in Pennsylvania.
Who are we?
| Team Member | Description |
|---|---|
 | Amanda Frey holds an undergraduate degree in The History and Philosophy of Science and Biological Science. She has experience in software training, teaching, program development, and education content management. As the project manager, she oversees project planning, facilitates processes, monitors progress, and provides team support and communication. |
 | Tia Tang has an undergraduate degree in Human Computer Interaction, Decision Science and Arts. As the Product Manager of the team, she is interested in guiding the team’s design ideation through research insight and iterative design. |
 | Qinglin Feng has an undergraduate degree in English Language and Literature. As the Research Lead of the team, she would like to leverage her knowledge of educational research and data analysis experience to conduct both qualitative and quantitative research that informs design. |
 | Yichen Li earned his B.S Computer Science from Rensselaer and has rich full-stack software development experience, devoted to open source projects that facilitated campus life. As the development lead of the Capstone team, he would like to orchestrate a technical solution to the real-world dilemma in educational technology. |
 | Mengzhe Ye has a master degree in Architecture and worked as an architecture designer. She views the role of the designer as being that of a translator and is particularly interested in improving immersive technologies allowing for fuller participation from a more diverse group of people and communication styles. |
What is METALS?
Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science offers a one-year, interdisciplinary Masters of Educational Technology and Applied Learning Science (METALS) within the Human Computer Interaction Institute. The METALS program is a one-year, interdisciplinary program that trains graduate students to work in a variety of careers, including learning engineering and learning experience design. Graduates apply science of learning principles, evidence-based research, qualitative and quantitative cognitive task analysis, and data-driven methods to design, create, and improve educational resources and technologies that enable students and instructors to succeed.
