Her research focuses on how the design, development, and implementation of learning experiences impact STEM learning across various contexts, including extended reality, classrooms, labs/clinical spaces, and other organizations to support workforce development. Professor Reeves views each domain as a culture with unique perspectives on generating, communicating, evaluating, and updating knowledge. She is dedicated to identifying effective approaches that translate domain-specific knowledge into learning experiences that address key aspects of a phenomenon and enhance the learner’s experience. As an accomplished extended reality designer and STEM education scholar, Professor Reeves conducts design-based research to enhance educational practices and develop learner-centered solutions.
