My online persona

I am teaching two graduate courses this term (Fall 2018) - EDF 660 Educational Inquiry and Evaluation, EDT 621 Topics in Educational Technology - and advising capstone and field experience students as well. I will be co-teaching EDT 621 this term with a colleague from Germany -  Dr. Thomas Irion, from PH Gmeund University of Education - who is visiting GVSU this term.  


My colleague, Sean Lancaster, and I have a chapter (7) included in an edited book from IGI Global: Student-Centered Virtual Learning Environments in Higher Education. I also review articles for the Journal of Educational Computing Research and Online Learning Journal. Our M.Ed. degrees in educational technology recently received national recognition from our SPA (ISTE/CAEP) and have been ranked one of the best online graduate education programs by U.S. News and World Report over the last four years which is something we are extremely proud of!

I'm also planning to write an open textbook focused on Online teaching during a sabbatical next fall - 2019 - and hope to facilitate an interactive session at this year's GVSU Teach-in.

On the personal side, I spend as much time outdoors as I can, hiking, golfing, biking, and taking outdoor photographs in West Michigan. All of the photos on this site are mine and I posted more of my favorites on our personal website.
