NICHOLAS MUDRICK is a third-year Ph.D. student in human factors and applied cognition at North Carolina State University. His research interests include the cognitive, affective, and metacognitive processes underlying comprehension and metacomprehension during learning with multimedia materials. More specifically, he is interested in using multichannel trace data such as log files, facial expressions of emotions, eye tracking, and electrodermal activity to predict and determine the accuracy of students’ metacognitive judgments as they learn with multimedia material. Relevant publications: Mudrick, N., Azevedo, R, & Taub, M. (2016, August). Using eye-movements to understand metacomprehension during learning with multimedia discrepancies. Paper presented at the biennial meeting of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) Metacognition SIG, Nijmegen, The Netherlands; Mudrick, N., Azevedo, R., Taub, M., & Bouchet, F. (2015). Does the frequency of pedagogical agent intervention relate to learners’ self-reported boredom while using multiagent intelligent tutoring systems? In D. C. Noelle, R. Dale, A. S.

MICHELLE TAUB is a Ph.D. candidate in human factors and applied cognition at North Carolina State University. Her research interests include using nontraditional statistical techniques (i.e., multilevel modeling) when analyzing multichannel data, such as eye tracking, videos of facial expressions, and log-file data, to examine students’ metacognitive monitoring during learning with different types of advanced learning technologies (e.g., intelligent tutoring systems, game-based learning environments, hypermedia, and simulations). Relevant publications: Taub, M., Martin, S. A., Azevedo, R., & Mudrick, N. V. (2016). The role of pedagogical agents on learning: Issues and trends. In F. Neto, R. Souza, & A. Gomes (Eds.), Handbook of research on 3-D virtual environments and hypermedia for ubiquitous learning (pp. 362–386). Hershey, PA: IGI Global; and Taub, M., Mudrick, N. V., Azevedo, R., Millar, G.

FRANZ WORTHA is completing his master of science in psychology at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. His interests lie in investigating emotions during self-regulated learning processes in hypermedia learning environments. Specifically, he is interested in analyzing emotions and their relation to cognitive and metacognitive processes through the use of online trace data, without interfering with the learning process. Relevant publications: Wortha, F., Azevedo, R., Taub, M., Mudrick, N. V., Martin, S. A., Millar, G. C., & Narciss, S. (2016, April). Emotion profiles: The importance of emotions during learning with a multi-agent hypermedia-learning environment. Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Washington, DC; and Wortha, F., Azevedo, R., Taub, M., Mudrick, N. V., Martin, S. A., Millar, G. C., & Narciss, S. (2016, August). Judgments of learning during learning with hypermedia—How do they affect study time allocation and study behaviors? Paper presented at the biennial meeting of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) Metacognition SIG, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
