Research Seminar: Learning Interfaces, Mastery Design & Game-Inspired Pedagogy
Dr. SingChun Lee is a visiting professor at Pacific. His work focuses on computer graphics, augmented and virtual reality and interactive learning systems. His research explores how interface design and game-inspired approaches can improve engagement and accessibility in computing education.Talk Highlights:1. Which interface makes parse trees "click" most: typing, dragging, or VR?Head-to-head study of 3 platforms for building parse treesWhat changes: engagement, workload, and overall task experienceDesign takeaways for classrooms2. How large should a mastery-learning question bank be?Game-theory model of student behavior in mastery-style assessmentMulti-semester evidence on "gaming the system" vs. mastery learningA practical "sweet spot" where adding questions helps most3. How can a quest-based design make computer graphics more accessible?Computer Graphics Wizard AcademyInteractive "scrolls" + rapid visual feedback (WebGPU)Shader-first approach that builds confidence before heavier math
