I consult with academics, and course teams, on embedding technologically enhanced learning into their teaching. I also provide one-on-one support, guidance, and advice on using StudentCentral (Blackboard Learn) and other technologies that support teaching and research, including e-submissions, mobile technologies, ePortfolios, blogging, and other systems. My personal duties revolve around Distance Learning, Blended (and Flipped) Learning, Media submissons and assessment, Edublogs (Wordpress), and all things StudentFolio (Mahara.)

I coordinated the scheduling and running of workshops and events in the IdeaLab, Carleton College's premier multi-media lab.

I was responsible for working with faculty and their students supporting pedagogy involving using media, hardware, and software to create rich projects for learning.
