Walter’s work in the Virtual Learning Lab focuses on causal inference using machine learning and log data from virtual learning environments and intelligent tutoring systems. He has published extensively on model-based approaches to estimate the effects of virtual learning environments on student achievement using propensity score analysis, multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, and finite mixture modeling. His book Practical Propensity Score Methods Using R disseminates methodology to implement propensity score matching, weighting, and stratification for cross-sectional, longitudinal, and multilevel data. Walter also created the podcast series, Fairness and Equity in AI for Education, which is available on all major podcasting platforms.
Chenglu’s research focuses on transformative impact of emerging learning technologies on STEM education and online learning through designing and developing learning spaces using artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and computer-based simulations and modeling.
