About

Shanshan Cheng is a researcher specializing in educational technology, robotics education, and multimedia instructional design. Their work focuses on bridging the gap between emerging technologies and effective pedagogical frameworks, with a particular emphasis on making robotics accessible and engaging for learners through well-designed instructional materials. Cheng's most notable contribution is the development of multimedia instructional materials for robotics education, a 2008 study that garnered 18 citations and demonstrated both the usability and practical utility of structured digital learning resources in robotics courses. This work addressed a growing need in educational settings where robotics curricula were expanding but lacked cohesive, research-backed instructional support. Building on this foundation, Cheng also contributed to the field by developing systematic evaluation indicators for LEGO-based multimedia instructional materials, recognizing that robust assessment frameworks were critically absent in robotics education. This second study, citing 7 times, provided educators with a structured methodology for evaluating the quality and effectiveness of robotics learning resources. Together, these contributions reflect Cheng's commitment to improving the infrastructure of robotics education — not just creating content, but ensuring it can be meaningfully assessed and refined — laying groundwork for future researchers and educators designing technology-integrated curricula.
