Teaching

If you are looking for course materials for courses I am presently teaching, click the image to the right and select the appropriate course.

I have designed 18 entirely new courses and taught 23 different courses written by others at various universities and colleges. Fifty percent of my course designs were for at-a-distance learning, approximately half of which were synchronous courses and half were asynchronous. Many of the courses I have designed for in-person interaction also contain both synchronous and asynchronous peer-to-peer interaction. In total, experiences from teaching 41 different courses combine to create my pedagogical repertoire. To see where I taught each of the courses below, please see my academic CV.
