Deniz Eseryel, Ph. D.

 
 

Dr. Deniz Eseryel is an Assistant Professor at University of Oklahoma in Instructional Psychology & Technology Program and the K20 Center for Educational and Community Renewal.


Prior to her appointment at University of Oklahoma, Dr. Eseryel worked as a post-doctoral research associate at IDD&E at Syracuse University with Dr. Tiffany A. Koszalka. Dr. Eseryel earned her Ph.D. Degree at Syracuse University with specialization in Instructional Design, Development, and Evaluation under the supervision of Dr. Phil Doughty, Dr. Mike Spector, and Dr. Jerry Klein. Dr. Deniz Eseryel earned her master's degree at the University of Twente in the Netherlands specializing in Educational & Training Systems Design under the supervision of Dr. Sanne Dijkstra and Dr. Betty Collis.


Dr. Eseryel’s scholarship crosses several domains including instructional design, cognitive psychology, and system dynamics. During her career, Deniz Eseryel has involved in both theoretical research and practice of instructional design and technology in both Europe and United States. These experiences included developing and implementing a distance education courseware in the Netherlands called TeleTOP; working with a team of experts in ADAPT IT project (funded by European Commission) to develop an expert training system to help professionals in training to design training courses for complex cognitive skills; and developing training materials and infrastructure for various organizations both in Europe and in United States.


Dr. Eseryel’s passion in the field of instructional design and technology led her to pursue a research agenda to advance current instructional design theories by addressing challenges in learning in and about complex, ill-structured knowledge domains. Towards achieving this goal, her current investigations focus on assessment of higher-order learning and complex-problem solving skills and advanced learning technologies such as system modeling, educational simulations, and games.


At University of Oklahoma, Dr. Eseryel teaches courses on instructional design for complex problem solving in addition to educational modeling, simulations, virtual reality, and games.
