Profile

Nada Dabbagh is associate professor of Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) in the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) at George Mason University. She teaches graduate courses in learning theory, instructional design, and e-learning design and pedagogy in the Instructional Design and Development (IDD) track of the Instructional Technology program in CEHD. In 2003, Dr. Dabbagh received the George Mason University Teaching Excellence award.

Dr. Dabbagh's research explores the social cognitive consequences of pedagogical ecology and technology mediated learning environments with the goal of understanding the design characterisctics of task structuring as the basis of effective learing designs.
Dr. Dabbagh's current research themes include: (1) task structuring in online learning environments, (2) problem generation and representation in hypermedia learning environments, and (3) supporting student self-regulation in distributed (blended) learning environments.

Dr. Dabbagh has published numerous journal articles and book chapters in each of these areas and presented her work at over 70 scholalry venues participating as a keynote and invited speaker and panelist at several international, national, and regional conferences. Recent achievements in e-learning include the publication of a co-authored book titled Online Learning: Concepts, Strategies, and Application.
