Dalila Dragnić-Cindrić is a senior research scientist at Digital Promise. She obtained her PhD in Education, with a focus on Learning Sciences and Psychological Studies, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She also has a Master of Engineering Management Degree from Duke University and a BS in Physics with a minor in Mathematics from North Carolina Central University. Dragnić-Cindrić researches how collaborative groups in STEM learn and make decisions, especially when they encounter uncertainty, and how teachers can best support them. She focuses on individual and group learning processes, as well as human interactions with emerging technologies.

Janice L. Anderson specializes in Science Education, Learning Sciences, and Technology integration. After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Case Western Reserve University, she began her career working in a molecular biology research lab focusing on reproductive endocrinology and biochemistry. Through her lab work, she became interested in working with high school students on their own science experiences within the lab. This led to a change in career direction and the pursuit of a degree in science education and a career in teaching. Before coming to Chapel Hill, she taught Biology (Honors and AP), Microbiology, Environmental Science, and Anatomy and Physiology for 12 years at the high school level. She received her Master's Degree in Science Education from the University of Dayton and her PhD in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Science Education and Technology from Boston College. Janice has spent 20+ years examining the impact of technology integration on student learning within the field of science, beginning in her early high school classroom and continuing on to her current research and practice at the School of Education. Anderson’s research utilizes a design-based research (DBR) methodological approach to conduct conceptually generative research on engaging Pre-Service and In-Service teachers and students as 21st Century educators and learners who leverage new and emerging technologies in the teaching and learning of science.
