Educational Mission
I am dedicated to applying relevant facets of my educational
experience into teaching and learning support. I am very interested
in using research and effective pedagogical methods and instructional
design
and development principles in order to maximize the effectiveness of
Science Instruction for non-science majors.
Research Interests:
1. Evaluate the effectiveness of web-based technologies in instruction at the college level. Describe possible advantages
for:
a. cross-curriculum integration
b. teaching students with a range of educational levels
c. teaching students with varying educational needs (especially differing
educational majors)
d. providing individualized instruction in support of a more traditional
large group classroom
e. addressing student and faculty communication needs and requirements
2. Development of an instructional design model that allows faculty without web training
to implement a web-based supplemental curriculum.
