Julie Mueller

• The main focus of my research is the integration of technology in teaching and learning. My teaching and research combine to investigate the integration of technology, pedagogy and content (TPACK) under a learner centred framework.
• My most recent project is in partnership with a local education technology company with support from the Canadian Space Agency to develop and mobilize Mission on the Moon, an open source set of modules that raise awarenss of Canada's current moon exploration, coding, and problem-solving
• I am currently measuring the assessment of STEM efficacy, computational thinking and problem-solving across disciplines in a digital age.

• Donald F. Morgensen Faculty Award of Teaching Excellence for Innovation in Teaching (2018)
• The Canadian Association for Teacher Education Dissertation Award (2010)
• Gold Medal for Academic Excellence in the Faculty of Science, Graduate Studies (2009)
• Laureate of the CPA Certificate of Academic Excellence (2009)

I intermittently have paid or volunteer research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students interested in digital technologies and education. Students who are interested in gaining experience in research in my areas of expertise are invited to contact me to discuss possible roles in our research lab.  You may read more about the nature of my research lab by visiting our website.
