• Date: Tuesday, March 28
• Time: Noon-1 p.m.
• Location: River’s Crossing Room 427; Zoom (passcode: 785817)
• Presenter: Jill Jinks, research fellow, UGA Generative Learning and Complexity Lab

Please join us on Tuesday, March 28 for a presentation titled “Roughness of Learning: A Variable Founded in Complexity Science” by Jill Jinks (M.Ed. ’18, Ph.D. ’22).

After earning a M.Ed. in instructional design from the University of Georgia in 2018, Jinks began her doctoral studies focusing on complexity science as applied to human learning. Her research is centered on measuring the roughness of learning variable as the entropy associated with learning. To study the roughness of learning variable, she collects data from game play in serious games where she can measure both the complexity in the game environment (as revealed in the game’s moves) and the player’s response to that complexity through informal and incidental learning efforts.

Jinks works as the CEO of an insurance holding company and as a director of a community bank. She holds an M.B.A. in finance from New York University, a M.S. in information systems from Georgia State University, and a Ph.D. in learning, leadership, and organization development from the University of Georgia.
