Educational Technology, University of Florida
At the core of my beliefs about teaching is the value I place on lifelong learning. My Educational Technology courses are designed for professionals who learn together from all stages of the career continuum. The predominant approaches I use in structuring my courses are to apply gradual release of responsibility and to design meaningful experiences. My primary teaching areas are in Instructional Design and Distance Education.
Spring 2008 syllabi:
EME 6458 Distance Teaching and Learning
EME 6606 Advanced Instructional Design
Summer 2008 syllabi:
I study the effectiveness of technology-supported learning environments for insight into improving performance for K-20 learners. My primary research efforts have been focused on virtual schools and distance education in general, as well as classroom technology implemenations and technology professional development in Florida public schools.
