Vanessa Johnson

Vanessa Johnson is a Ph.D. student in Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University Bloomington, School of Education. Her research focuses on the undergraduate learner experience and the development of learner autonomy through scaffolding integration by teachers, self-scaffolding by learners, and the metacognitive regulatory process. Exploration of teaching and learning strategies that may support learner independence and autonomy by addressing knowledge and skills gaps among the high school to college transitioning student population are areas of her general interest. She intends to pursue an ongoing study into the inconsistent perceptions and educational interventions surrounding college readiness efforts between the academy, educators, and students. Other areas of interest, she is involved in include the development of AI ethical frameworks for AI educational programming and instructional design for neurodiverse and disabled learners.
