Peg Ertmer, Ph.D.
Professor
Professor Ertmer is interested in helping her students become expert learners and expert instructional designers. To facilitate this goal, she uses a variety of student-centered strategies (case-based instruction, problem-based learning, peer feedback, and various self-regulated learning strategies [e.g., self-evaluation, self-monitoring]) to facilitate the learning process. Professor Ertmer investigates the impact of these strategies on the development of expertise through a variety of research studies and instructional development projects.
