Nik­ki James is a Learn­ing Sci­en­tist, instruc­tion­al design­er and edu­ca­tion­al tech­nol­o­gy researcher focused on the design of edu­ca­tion tech­nol­o­gy to sup­port expe­ri­en­tial learn­ing. Nik­ki has been design­ing tech­nol­o­gy-enabled learn­ing pro­grams since 2008 and has deliv­ered expe­ri­en­tial learn­ing pro­grams with­in high­er edu­ca­tion insti­tu­tions from both the fac­ul­ty and pro­gram man­ag­er perspective.

A shift in focus in 2014 led to her cur­rent role as a learn­ing sci­en­tist and edu­ca­tion­al tech­nol­o­gy researcher focused on the use of machine learn­ing and real-time learn­ing ana­lyt­ics to sup­port expe­ri­en­tial learn­ing design and delivery.

Nik­ki has pub­lished papers and pre­sent­ed her work at ACEN, NAGCAS and AIEC in Aus­tralia and var­i­ous inter­na­tion­al con­fer­ences includ­ing the Learn­ing Ana­lyt­ics & Knowl­edge Con­fer­ence and the IMS Glob­al – LILI Conference.
