"May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,

My research has always been intimately connected with communication and instruction, focusing on the design and evaluation of online information, human-computer interaction, usability, and teaching and learning with technology [more...].
This semester I am teaching EAC 585-601 (Integrating Technology into Training). The first course I taught 25 years ago was entitled Computer-Assisted Learning and, semester, I am teaching a doctoral course on Technology in Adult, HIgher, and Human Resource Education.
