About

Olga Firssova is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of technology-enhanced learning, teacher professional development, and innovative STEM education. Her most-cited research, "Educational Robotics at Schools Online with Augmented Reality" (2024), addresses a critical gap exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic: how to deliver hands-on, robotics-based STEM instruction in remote and blended learning environments. By systematically integrating augmented reality tools into online educational robotics, Firssova’s work provides a practical, research-backed framework for maintaining student engagement and learning outcomes when physical access to robots is limited. This contribution is particularly valuable for educators and instructional designers seeking resilient, scalable approaches to STEM teaching. While her citation count is still growing, the timeliness and practical relevance of her research signal its potential for lasting impact. Firssova’s focus on bridging digital tools with tangible, interactive learning experiences positions her as a key voice in the ongoing evolution of online and hybrid education, especially in fields that traditionally rely on physical manipulation and real-world experimentation.
