As Program Coordinator for the UNC Teaching and Learning with Technology Collaborative, I manage statewide professional development initiatives that emphasize effective uses of technology to enhance instruction. I lead the UNC Course Redesign Initiative, which focuses on improving student success through active learning and technology-mediated independent learning opportunities as recommended by the National Center for Academic Transformation, and serve as UNC’s project director for MERLOT. My degrees are from Yale University (B.S. Engineering Sciences), the Georgia Institute of Technology (M.S. Computer Science), and North Carolina State University (M.I.D. Industrial Design), and I have held faculty positions at Arizona State University and Wake Technical Community College in Raleigh, NC. My research and creative interests include SoTL, cognitive ergonomics, information and interaction design, and serious games.
