Instructor

Various Graduate and Undergraduate Courses

I enjoy teaching in variuos modes. Face-to-face is excellent to engage the students with active learning strategies and classroom discussion. I find the online environment terrific for creating and posting engaging content, and utilizing aspects of social media to engage the students with the outside world. I have taught graduate courses in Educational Technology, Assessment & Measurement, Educational Philosophy, and Educational Research. For seven years I taught undergraduate students courses in the category of "How to Succeed in College."
