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.....

Fall 2011 EME2040

Welcome to class students,

I have seen most of you in the discussions, but not all, so lets all get in there and post often to build the conversation this week. I will be needing your research paper topics next week. A favorite topic of mine right now is the future of the learning management system [ie Blackboard, etc]. Why do we need it, what purpose do they serve, and what is their relevance in the age of the networked, social-media world???  See you online in Blackboard :/ :)
