I work at the intersection of teaching and technology at the University of Calgary’s Taylor Institute, leading transdisciplinary teams that explore how pedagogies and technologies shape each other. Three decades in edtech - building systems, implementing platforms, and trying to make sense of it all. My PhD explored how video game design principles can improve our understanding of teaching and learning. Current work includes co-chairing committees on learning technologies and spaces, and serving on micro-credential and generative AI working groups. As always, I remain thoughtfully conflicted about most new educational technologies.
