Beaumie Kim completed her PhD in Instructional Technology at the University of Georgia, USA. She joined University of Calgary in January 2013. Prior to University of Calgary, she researched and taught at the Learning Sciences Lab and Learning Sciences and Technologies Academic Group in National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. She previously worked for NASA-sponsored Classroom of the Future program at the Center for Educational Technologies in Wheeling Jesuit University in the United States. Her earlier work was focused on using experts' resources and tools for the research and development of learning resources and tools using technology, including co-designing educational games with stakeholders, such as scientists, designers, educators, and students. Her current research engages learners in creating games for their own and others' learning in a playful manner in diverse educational contexts. Her work is carried out in collaboration with teachers and students as design partners, and by observing their interactions, discourse and artifacts.
