IDT GSO: Guest Speaker Dr. Michelle Bartlett on Q Methodology

Whether you’re working on a master’s design project, refining your workplace practice, or diving into doctoral research, understanding how people think and feel is at the absolute heart of what we do. As designers, performance technologists, and scholars, effective design begins with genuine empathy—deeply understanding the learner, their lived experiences, and their unique needs.

To design interventions and learning environments that truly resonate, we have to look beyond surface-level metrics and explore human subjectivity.

We’d love for you to join us for our upcoming general IDT / LDE GSO meeting featuring special guest speaker Dr. Michelle Bartlett, Assistant Professor at ODU!

Dr. Bartlett will introduce Q Methodology—a powerful research approach designed to measure subjective viewpoints, personal perspectives, and human attitudes.

What's in it for you?
For Master's Students & Practitioners: Discover practical ways to conduct deeper learner analysis, gather qualitative user feedback, and build empathy-driven instructional interventions.

For Doctoral Students: Learn a rigorous research methodology that bridges qualitative depth and quantitative analysis for dissertations and publications.

For Everyone: Connect with fellow students across IDT, LDE, and EPPE, ask questions, and expand your professional network.
