About Me

I am at Florida State College Jacksonville in the Office of Learning Services. I lead the custom learning solutions for our new small business unit Global Education Learning Solutions GLS. I enjoy presenting at various conferences on my work and research interests. Currently I am very interested in mobile e-books, immersive exploratory learning objects, offline synchronizing LMS technologies, and situated cognition. Additionally, I am experimenting with ways immersive virtual environments such as Second Life may be used to support teaching and learning. One fascinating book I recommend for those interested in virtual worlds is Synthetic Worlds by Edward Castronova. Last year I completed a multiple case study exploring student learning experiences with mobile e-books, with a particular focus on situated learning and am interested in the learning applications of social media.....

Week 6 Class Update,

Learners, I have enjoyed our course so far, and entering today into week 6 we now only have a short few weeks before the end of the course!  Your discussion posts and ideas have been thoughtful, encouraged debate, and quite insightful.  Thank you for that.  Moving into the final weeks of the course keep the energy, drive, and momentum going so that we all complete this course in a stellar fashion learning as much as possible.

As of today, all grades have been updated and feedback submitted.   Please make sure to read these comments carefully and email me directly if you have any questions.   I am looking forward to our final weeks together.
