Emma Liptrot


Ph.D. Student


I am a PhD student in the Learning Sciences program in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology. My research interests are on educational apps and games. My research focuses on understanding what makes a good educational app and investigating how parents and educators use the information that is available to them to choose good apps. Ultimately, I want to improve learning outcomes by helping parents and educators choose high quality educational apps.
