In an attempt to gain better insight into the world of communications research, we sat down with Dr. Zac Johnson, a professor at California State University, Fullerton who specializes in instructional research and student communication. Johnson has been part of research on student confirmation and the effect having a camera on in a Zoom class has on student learning. Johnson opens up to us about what peaked his interest in this field, what problems are brought into it in a post-COVID era, and how he researches these problems himself.
