Kailey Corey

“I find it more important than ever to not only be an effective educator, but an informed steward of student data. I am excited to be part of such an innovative and practical program that combines my love of human-centered learning design with the inevitable realities of big data and artificial intelligence!”

HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN IN DATA-CENTRIC ENVIRONMENTS

Kailey’s work is rooted in frameworks such as Backward Design, Universal Design for Learning, and Cultural Responsiveness. She leverages her linguistics and learning sciences background to design evidence-based adult learning experiences that promote inclusive academic excellence. Her current focus is on implementing project-based learning experiences that support metacognition, authenticity, and language-rich interactions, with careful attention to transparency, cultural context, and ethical practice. She is also interested in using data analytics in combination with narrative storytelling for social justice. In her limited free time, you can find her reading and experimenting with how she can use AI and Large Language Models to design and model human learning.
