Adam Kenneth Dub茅 is an Associate Professor of Learning Sciences and Director for the Faculty of Education Office of EdTech at 不良研究所. He is the Director of the Technology, Learning, & Cognition (TLC) Lab, a 不良研究所 Faculty of Education Distinguished Teacher award recipient,听and a joint Fellow of the American Educational Research Association and the Society of Research in Child Development in middle childhood education and development.听 He investigates how educational technology augments the learning process and teaches courses on the use of emerging educational technologies. His work on the use of tablet computers in education is published in the book 鈥淯nderstanding Tablets from Early Childhood to Adulthood: Encounters with Touch Technology.鈥

One focus area of his听research asks whether educational tablet math games are able to simultaneously entertain and educate and it is funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada as well as the Fonds de Recherche du Qu茅bec-Soci茅t茅 et Culture. Another recent focus area is on how the use of digital assistants听(smart speakers) affects the development of children's theories of artificial minds and is funded by the听Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.听 Altogether,听Dr. Dub茅's work on educational technology has gone so far as to inform the recent United Nations industry Guidelines on Digital Learning.
