Sümeyye ÇETİN

I am an educational technologist, researcher, and digital transformation leader, currently serving as the Head of the Digital Transformation Office at Kırklareli University. With a strong background in instructional design, digital learning environments, and AI-driven education technologies, I focus on integrating innovative solutions into higher education to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

I am also a Ph.D. candidate in Instructional Technologies at Gazi University, where my research revolves around designing immersive learning models for vocational education using Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and gamification techniques. My goal is to develop interactive and adaptive learning experiences that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills.

In my role at Kırklareli University, I lead multiple digital transformation initiatives, including: Developing interactive learning materials using AI-powered content creation tools. Implementing gamification strategies to increase student motivation and engagement. Creating virtual simulation environments for laboratory and applied sciences education. Managing interdisciplinary tech-driven projects that align with global trends in EdTech.

Beyond academia, I actively participate in international projects, COST actions, and collaborative research networks, aiming to contribute to the digitalization of higher education at both national and global levels.

I am always eager to collaborate on projects that push the boundaries of educational technology, fostering innovation in digital learning, adaptive AI-based education, and next-generation instructional design.
