Instructional Technology

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Professional Studies at the University of Wyoming. Beginning with Spring 2014, all course materials are housed in WyoCourses. For questions regarding my courses, please email [email protected].
Design

How do we create design activities for learners at all levels to reinforce content literacy? How does message design play into these literacies? And more importantly, do the design activities we create for learners translate into improved classroom or job performance? These are the questions I seek to answer.
Samples of Work

From sample lessons to mediated projects, these samples of work showcase what I have worked on over the years as an Instructional Designer, eLearning Manager, Instructor, and Graduate Student.
