Biography

Fernando Rodriguez is a postdoctoral scholar, working with Professor Mark Warschauer in the Digital Learning Lab (DLL). His work examines online learning environments in STEM. He also studies college students' thinking and reasoning skills in the context of evaluating claims, arguments, and persuasive messages.

Prior to joining the Digital Learning Lab, Dr. Rodriguez worked in the Evaluation Research Program at WestEd, where he helped schools, universities, and foundations make data-driven decisions that improved student outcomes. His evaluation research projects spanned from pre-K to higher education and included a variety of topics, such as teacher professional development, school turnaround, and migrant education.

Dr. Rodriguez received his bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University, Northridge. He received his master’s degree in Developmental Psychology and his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
