Prof. Harley completed their FRQSC and SSHRC CGS-funded Ph.D. in Educational Psychology at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University in 2014. They held a postdoctoral fellow position in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Montreal (FRQSC postdoc award) from 2014-2015. Before returning to ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, Prof. Harley was a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Alberta and Director of the Computer-Human Interaction: Technology, Education, and Affect (CHI-TEA) Laboratory (2016-2019).

In 2018, they won the Outstanding Early Career Researcher Award sponsored by the Technology, Instruction, Cognition, and Learning (TICL) SIG of the American Educational Research Association (AERA). As a faculty member and principle investigator, their research has been supported by multiple grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Killam Research Foundation, and MITACS. Prof. Harley serves on the editorial boards of the journals, Learning & Instruction (IF = 5.15) Educational Technology Research and Development (IF = 3.57), as well as on program committees for Artificial Intelligence in Education and Intelligent Tutoring Systems. Their research and teaching have led to appearances in The Guardian, CBC News, The Globe & Mail, Global News, CTV News, Radio-Canada: Le Téléjournal, The Montreal Gazette, and other broadcast and print media.

Current research interests: Surgical education, simulation, emotion and emotion regulation, well-being, anti-harassment training, virtual simulation (VS), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), team training (e.g., communication, collaboration, leadership), and health literacy.
