Visualization and Modeling, Postdoctoral ScholarYael Kali
Yael's current interest is in design principles of computer-based learning environments. She is leading, together with Nathan Bos, a project to forge the existing knowledge and experience of software-designers and educational researchers into a coherent set of design principles and guidelines for the design of such learning environments.

Yael Kali is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar
with the Visualization and Modeling theme team. Yael graduated the
Department of Science Teaching in the Weizmann Institute of Science
in Israel. Her work centers on cognitive aspects of learning Earth
sciences, and the design and development of computer-based tools
and curricula that deal with these aspects. She has addressed these
issues in two areas. In one area, she studied students' spatial
perception of three-dimensional geological structures, and
developed software to assist students in developing the spatial
skills needed for such perception. In another area, she studied
students' systems thinking in the context of the rock-cycle, and
developed a curriculum and software to assist students in the
perception of the Earth's crust as a cyclic system.
