Dr. Bai received her Ph.D. in e-learning environment from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) in 2022. Before that, she got a master degree in English linguistics from Renmin University of China (RUC) in 2018 and two bachelor degrees (English literature and economics) from Shandong University (SDU) in 2015. Her research interests lie in technology-enhanced learning, gamification, and intrinsic motivation to learn.
