Duncan Culbreth

Duncan Culbreth is a Researcher at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation within North Carolina State University's LeADS (Learning, Analytics, and Data Science) group. His work focuses on educational technology implementation, K-12 classroom monitoring systems, and online learning dynamics. Culbreth explores how educators balance safety and privacy in digital learning environments, particularly during the pandemic's educational shifts.

His research interests include analyzing the impact of monitoring applications on student experiences, synchronicity effects in online engagement, and high school students' understanding of artificial intelligence. Culbreth's work often bridges technological innovation with ethical considerations in education policy and practice.

Recent publications emphasize themes like educator perceptions of surveillance tools, temporal synchrony in hybrid learning models, and pandemic-driven shifts in educational technology adoption. While no formal awards are noted, his contributions to understanding modern educational challenges position him as an influential voice in edtech research.

Culbreth collaborates with the Friday Institute's interdisciplinary teams to develop scalable solutions for K-12 systems. His research frequently involves cross-stakeholder perspectives (students, teachers, tech directors) to address practical implementation challenges in real-world educational settings.
