Metacognitive Scaffolding
The Metacognitive Scaffolding Research Group focuses on the design and evaluation of computer-based scaffolds that support metacognition and self-regulatory processes (e.g., monitoring, evaluation, reflection). Affiliated projects (see "Projects" link above) include: 1) Hylighter, a tool to support collaborative writing; 2) participation in the development of an international center to support expertise and learning transfer; and, 3) implementation of multiple perspectives via pedagogical agents.

Participation in Development of International Center for Researching Expertise and Learning Transfer
This LSI-based group, involving researchers from abroad, is working to establish a research facility with a trans-disciplinary concentration of knowledge, skills, and judgment that advances the sciences of expert learning and performance.
Agents as Vehicles to Represent Multiple Perspectives
This project involves employing pedagogical agents to represent contrasting perspectives in ill-defined subject areas as a way to promote cognitive flexibility and metacognitive awareness. Dr. Baylor was award Best Paper of 2003 by AECT for her investigation in this area.
