Ana Bell studies how students learn computer science and programming in large online courses (MOOCs), using data such as forum discussions, code submissions, and demographic information to understand learner behavior. Her work examines topics like problem-solving patterns, engagement, prior knowledge, and the effects of external factors such as COVID-19 on learning outcomes. This research combines education research with computational methods like natural language processing to analyze student data at scale.
Publication output has been modest and fairly steady over the past five years, averaging about one paper per year, following a small peak of three to four papers around 2019-2020.
