About
Tiina Kasuk is an educational technology researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of robotics, psychology, and pedagogy, with a particular focus on telepresence robots (TPRs) and their transformative potential in educational settings. Her research has systematically mapped this emerging field through rigorous bibliometric and thematic analyses, drawing on major databases including Scopus and Web of Science to chart how disciplines from computer science to telehealth are engaging with TPR technology. Among her most significant contributions is her examination of how telepresence robots can bridge the gap between remote and onsite learners, particularly in higher education contexts. Her pilot studies on social distancing and non-verbal communication via TPRs have shed light on the psychological dimensions of human-robot interaction in classrooms — a notably underexplored perspective. Her 2023 papers alone have accumulated over 55 citations, reflecting strong scholarly interest in her findings. Kasuk has also made practical contributions through curriculum-oriented work, developing the PEPCII pedagogical design model for synchronous hybrid learning and publishing guidelines for TPR implementation. Her career reflects a commitment to translating research insights into actionable frameworks, making her a valuable voice for educators and institutions navigating the evolving landscape of remote and hybrid education.
