Educational Data Scientist | Game Designer | Researcher

G. Curt Fulwider

My research sits at the intersection of learning sciences, educational data science, and interactive system design. I study how learners think and act inside digital environments, then build tools that turn those behavioral signals into better feedback, stronger evidence, and more useful systems for educators and students.

I work on game-based assessment, learning analytics, self-efficacy, and AI-assisted measurement design, with a strong bias toward building usable systems instead of stopping at theory.

Current projects span telemetry pipelines, Bayesian and statistical modeling, dashboarding, and interactive learning environments designed to support assessment, motivation, and student growth.

  • Self-efficacy and non-cognitive measurement
  • AI-enhanced learning systems
