Jamie Bernhardt is a PhD Student in Learning Technologies at Georgia State University, where he also earned a BA in Philosophy and a MS in Instructional Design & Technology. Jamie previously worked in Instructional Design roles with Abbvie Inc., the Emory Autism Center, Atlanta Speech School, and the School of Social Work at Georgia State University. Jamie’s primary research interests center around designing multimedia learning environments for diversity, meaning making, and understanding and improving one’s abilities and health. Jamie has published research about a summer program evaluation meant to engage adults on the autism spectrum into practicing independent living skills while setting and achieving their own health and wellness goals in an on-campus residential experience. He also completed research about evaluating the quality of YouTube videos for fidelity to use of best practices from the field of health literacy (e.g. for plain language, quality, understandability, and actionability). Jamie’s dissertation will study the design and use of games and interactive multimedia experiences to enhance learning about one’s own cognitive abilities.
