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.....

EEX4231 FSCJ Week 1 Update

Well, it is great to see all of you in here and to see such a wonderful group!   Hello, I am Jeff Kissinger your instructor, and many of you know me from previous classes.  Tips for success: follow me on twitter @jeffkiss.   I will send out updates, twitter rarely goes down [sorry Blackboard :)], and as educators you will garner great benefits by building your virtual professional network that will transcend and continue beyond your classes.  Remember to be active, IE multiple discussion posts and replys each week, and that this is a short course [only 8 weeks], and save yourself the stress by not falling behind each week.  Lastly, please follow Stephanie's lead in the group projects discussion board  by forming your groups and planning the projects now.  

We are off to a great start this week.....lets keep it up!  Dr. Kissinger @jeffkiss
