Connected Learning in Education & Research
ABOUT CLEAR LAB
Established in 2019, CLEaR Lab is co-located in the College of Education at Clemson University and School of Education at the University of Pittsburgh. We are a team of faculty and graduate students in the learning sciences who study participatory learning, development, cognition, assessment, and issues of equity and access. We research and apply innovative approaches to connect learning in formal and informal environments to solve practical problems in education. Our passionate team members use a variety of methodological approaches, share scholarly work and discuss pressing issues in the learning sciences.

DANIELLE HERRO
DIRECTOR CLEMSON
I am an Associate Professor of Digital Media and Learning in the Learning Sciences program and CLEaR Lab Director. Prior to joining the faculty at Clemson University I was a classroom and computer resource teacher and technology administrator in Wisconsin; I earned my PhD at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In 2013-16, I was a Gordon/MacArthur Foundation Fellow for 21st Century Learning and Assessment, and most recently a Watt Faculty Fellow investigating how artificial intelligence might improve teaching and learning. My research interests involve the efficacy of STEAM education to provide equitable and connected learning environments for all students, and ways to promote computational thinking and data science in rural elementary students. I am passionate about working with kids to learn about their interests with digital media outside of school and thinking of engaging ways to bring these valuable youth practices into schooling. In my work, I focus on investigating the intersection of digital media and games, identity, collaboration and social practices - and learning.
