Biography

Director of Instructional Technology Research & Development
Division of Science and Mathematics Education
College of Natural Science
Michigan State University

I am responsible for providing vision, direction, planning and implementation regarding the use of technology in instruction of mathematics and science in the Division of Science and Mathematics Education.

My research interests are in theories of cognition, how these theories inform the design of instruction, how we might best design instructional technology within those frameworks and how the research and development of instructional technologies can inform our theories of cognition. I am also interested in the role of technology in educational improvement and reform.

Prior to joining the DSME, I was part of a team that developed several introductory computer science courses for non-computer science students. The most recent course is Computing Concepts and Competencies, serving over 4000 undergraduates per year at MSU.
