These pages detail my professional history, areas of research and personal interest, and resources I've found helpful from time to time. If you find omissions, have ideas for additions, or think you may be able to use my services, please feel free to contact me.
I recently completed my PhD in information science at the Univeristy at Albany, State University of New York with a focus on computing technology in learning.
I completed my Masters degree in 2003 at the University of Hawaii, Department of Information and Computer Science. My thesis (available as a 3.5MB download in PDF format) focused on the NSF-funded Rural Systemic Initiative (RSI) I worked with while there, the Hawaii Networked Learning Communities.
I returned to upstate New York in December, 2003 and am currently building a teaching practice in computer science in the Albany-Schenectady-Saratoga Springs-Glens Falls area. Recent or current teaching experience include:
- Skidmore College's University Without Walls
- Introduction to Statistics,
- Data Structures, and
- Social Impacts of Computing
- University at Albany's Department of Information Studies
- ISP 361 Web Technologies
- ISP 424 Hardware & Operating Systems
- High Rock Learning , Saratoga Springs NY
- Short course in Computer Science
I also have been working with the Association for the Cooperative Advancement of Science and Education, a not-for-profit education think-tank located in Saratoga Springs, New York, to develop the next generation of assessments of student learning.
