Dissertation

This is where most of my time is currently being spent. I am currently negotiating my topic with potential committee members. I hope to have a prospectus to post here soon! My interest is in developing a user-centered design process for learning objects. Check out my blog for updates on my progress.

Online Communities

I have been running an online community for five years at Planetarium.Net. This work started in a previous career but still serves as a place for me to test new ideas and concepts. I also still have a great interest in informal education and this helps me stay on top of developments!
