  I collaboratively design, build, and study emerging technologies that support people as they learn new and difficult practices such as: 1) developing computational, mathematical, and linguistic literacies; 2) transdisciplinary constructionist learning; 3) culturally or neurologically divergent practices. I use design based research to lead the development of technologies that make new types of learning and understanding possible. Currently I am: a) conducting research and scholarship that speculate on the pedagogical potential of a range of emerging Generative AI technologies; b) designing and prototyping learning technologies that emerge from this research and scholarship; and c) collaborating and working with similarly focused industry and academic research groups. Specifically, I am exploring possible roles for simulated cognition, statecharts, Generative AI, and multi-agent systems in supporting [multilingual] learners as they learn to program (eg. Python, JavaScript), design learning technologies of their own, reason mathematically, synthesize across disciplines, and struggle to understand difficult concepts. Some past highlights have included: leading the design and development of three different Learning Support Bots (Olmanson, 2023); leading the design and development of a Chinese literacy development application called DaZiBao (Olmanson, et.al., 2021); working on the design and implementation of a between-drafts mapping tool called InfoWriter (Olmanson et. al., 2016), and using historical analysis to track the use of the terms achievement and the achievement gap as it applies to Black students (Olmanson et. al., 2018). I use a number of design pathways for my work including Speculative Design, Universal Design for Learning, Human Centered Design, Techno-Pedagogical Pivots, and Agile. The technologies I use to carry out my design and development work shift with the needs of each project. I tend to use vanilla JavaScript, HTML, CSS and MongoDB or NeDB when mocking up prototypes. I use Express (+ JavaScript) or Flask (+ Python) and Neo4j, Pinecone, and MongoDB when developing for learners (on Digital Ocean Ubuntu droplets). I collaborate with graduate students and colleagues in my design, development, and research work. If you are interested in collaborating with me send an email to [email protected] . If you are interested in applying to the Innovative Learning Technologies PhD or Master’s programs at UNL feel free to reach out to me beforehand. University Of Nebraska Lincoln
