‘Adequate’ Isn’t Good Enough: The NETP Roadmap to Higher Expectations

Filed under: Uncategorized | Leave a comment »

[Published 7.14.11]

I am self-taught in computer science and passionate about it. I have had the opportunity to create web pages, to develop and manage a web community, at least as long as I was able to. Due to the evolution of my eyesight condition, I have had leave this field aside. I like astronomy, chess, film, traveling, science in general and good cooking. My motto is inspired by a sightless person’s autobiography: “At that point, I made a promise to myself. I would give up the things I could not do, but whatever I could do I would learn to do well.” [Photo courtesy of Andrea Miccoli, “Elementary Astronomy Seminar for the Blind and Visually Impaired,” Italian Union of the Blind (UICI) and Associazione Pontina di Astronomia, 21 May 2011]

I’ve been involved in online education since the mid ’90s when I first began defining and building a method of creating online learning communities online. I helped envision, create, and administer the first virtual high school in the country. I had been a pioneer in the use of computers in education and raised concerns about equity in technology use early in the education technology movement. I work with college and university programs, policy-makers, and leaders in online learning from non-profit organizations and institutions. I have helped shape the nature of e-learning efforts in the country. I support the radical transformation of US education.

Learning Technologist
Nord Anglia Education

In my previous role in designing online courses I was a pedagogical adviser to academics who would take my advice and then utilise our moodle tools to design online activities in a blended or purely online course. The challenge was to educate as to the pedagogical affordances of each tool so that they understood how best to incorporate them. There were no interactive content tools so the content was presented in mostly document form although audio and video was starting to creep in. Here at Nord Anglia, I’ve started with the remit of designing self-study online courses exclusively with Articulate Storyline. What I do is work with a subject matter expert to produce content that I can then take and design into what is essentially an interactive, narrated slideshow. I still feel like a learning technologist dabbling in instructional design. An important part of my role is to assist in the development of our moodle sites, and I’m developing areas to provide advice on a variety of online tools. This is something I intend to grow as I see a real need for this.
