Beaumie Kim is a professor of learning sciences at the Werklund School of Education in University of Calgary, Canada. Her research is focused on engaging learners in playing and designing games that model ideas, concepts, and systems, and also express something about themselves. Her research work is carried out in collaboration with teachers and students as design partners, and by observing their interactions, discourse and artifacts.
